I want to set up something like the National Poetry Series for chapbooks. One submission, several presses, several judges, big deal. So if anyone wants to fund that, I'd love to do it without a submissions fee.

Each day I let out one defeated sigh so profound that all the oxygen leaves my body, my heart stopes beating, and I am legally dead for seven seconds.

Writing my trivia show this morning, trying to devise a new kind of round for the players. Is there like a trivia host discord somewhere? Would love to trade notes with people who write their own shows.
