Poets & Writers Features Article on the Craft of Writing by Benjamin Percy

"Go the Distance: What Rocky Taught Me About Submission," a craft article by Benjamin Percy is featured in November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

You won't be surprised to hear that whole forests

have been pulped to print the rejection letters sent my way.

--Benjamin Percy

The latest issue of Poets & Writers, a journal that specializes in articles about writers and writing--from inspiration to publication--features a piece by Benjamin Percy on the rigors of seeking publication. In the article, Percy employs the metaphor of boxing and the bull-headedness of Rocky Balboa to describe his own approach to finding publication outlets for his own work.
