Help! I'm a virgin. [View all]

I am ready to submit a poem and am still working on a short story.

I am a virgin regarding submissions and would love to hear words of wisdom regarding submitting poetry and short stories.
How do you pick your targets? How do you preserve the copyright?

I assure you whatever you have to say will be more than what I know now.

Thank you!
