Great news!

Posted by bencooper | Filed under General, News, Poetry

I received a wonderful email today from Iain Muir, the poetry editor from Aphelion. He has accepted my poem ‘Orion’s Belt’ for publication. It’s just going to miss the May issue so will feature in the June issue.

Poetry has not been my main focus in my creative writing but it feels great to have something accepted from a reputable on line sci-fi webzine. You can follow the link above or go from my weblinks page if you want to check the magazine out. It’s a good read and I’m delighted to be published in it.

Well, hopefully this will be the thin end of the wedge. I’ve got other poems and some ideas for stories to work on once I hand in this darned dissertation next week.

Onwards and upwards! To infinity and BEYOND!

I’ll shut up now  :)

    Congratulations, Ben. I had my first publication in Aphelion. It’s a good place to start.

    Hi Gareth,

    Thanks for the encouragement. It feels good and hopefully I can get a story placed soon.
    I’m looking forward to getting the two anthologies you are featured in.
