    1. Gina, my dear, what a wonderful surprise. Happy New Year 💕🌹💕🌹 Are you ok? I miss you. Are you on social media? I looked for you and I could not find you. Please let me know. Lots of love ❤️❤️

      1. Hello lovely! I am doing ok. I’ve only just started back here on WordPress and don’t do much on social media these days. The past few years have been difficult and am slowly getting out of the fog. I hope life has been treating you well my dear. Always amazed at your energy and big heart.

      2. I am so sorry to hear that the past years were difficult hon. Much love and many blessings to you. I cannot reach your web if I try. Will you write to me? Please…

      4. Big hugs too Gina. I got your email. I will write back. I am truly happy you wrote.

  11. I don’t do poetry, sadly. Totally suck at it. I am a tad better at fiction. Or non-fiction.
    All the best for your anthology Gabriela.
    And my best wishes for 2025. (Hoping it won’t be bad as bad as I fear.)
    Be good.
    Brian

    1. Hi Brian, thank you so much for your kind message. Happy New Year ( I fear it too).

      Of course you can write. What’s so difficult about haiku ? You can do it. I would be thrilled to publish you 🌹🌹🌹

      1. Haha. Thanks for the encouragement. I know that Haiku should not be that difficult, but precisely. You might know the joke:
        You need a one page recommendation on… Give me two weeks.
        You need an executive 10 page report on…
        Give me a week.
        You need me to deliver a two-hour speech on any subject? I’m ready… 😉
        More seriously, I can write 1000 words of fiction or non-fiction in… one morning.
        Half a dozen verses? That’s very difficult…
        Be good. 🌹

      2. Haha! Think about it as you need to deliver a two-hour speech now 🙂🙂🙂 Enjoy the rest of your week my friend 🌹

  13. This is a lovely invitation, Haikus… a very sweet poetic form! 🙂 I have never contributed to an anthology before, and I have read the following in the Terms and Conditions section, perhaps you could clarify it for me, “For the moment, we are not able to pay our contributors to our journal and/or anthologies.” Thank you!

    Reply

    1. Thank you so much hon. That means that we do not have the funds yet to sent free copies of our anthologies to our contributors. We apologize for that.

      Reply

      1. Oh.. thank you, no apologies necessary, I had read and understood that aspect clearly from the next paragraph, on the same Terms and Conditions page. What is unclear though, about publishing in anthologies on Literary Revelations, is whether or how contributors are paid for their contributing.

      2. We also state that for the moment we do not pay our contributors. Unfortunately that is standard practice for small publishers as we try to stay alive in a world dominated by 4-5 gigantic publishers. In Western Europe and the US most small publishers closed.

      3. I see… and I agree, not to mention small/ beginning/ not-considerably-promoted poets and writers, trying to stay afloat and carve our way ahead… or among. Thank you for your clarification 🙂

      4. Hon, I am telling you, it’s hard. I get plenty of manuscripts with the specification: my publisher closed its business. Can you publish me? And the answers is no. I cannot do more than 4 books a year. I am so proud of our achievements, but boy hours and hours of work. We pay formatters, cover designers , we use original art, we market, we pay franchise taxes regardless of the fact that there it may be little profit.

        As for new talented writers it’s very difficult. They got to spend their life on social media. If they do so, when can they write?

      5. To self publish on Amazon, I had to go through most of those, becoming familiar with their publishing platform, watching tutorials, formatting, designing the cover… though promoting skills still have to be learned, and the rest… is yet to be discovered. I think you remember the moment I asked for help regarding the ISBN number, it really was something foreign to me.

        Indeed, I love writing poetry, but it is barely compatible with technical, administrative and marketing work. To do them all I have to clearly separate the tasks, focusing on each only a limited amount a time a day… which delays the whole process.

      6. I remember that hon. They are not compatible indeed. It is like your brain has to switch right and left at the same time. Try to breathe and relax. Try to be happy. Things will come to you. Sending love. Enjoy your weekend 🌹
