Anything creative, if the question is about the creation itself (so, your novel or dictionary or whatever), is 5th house, not 3rd.
Publishing in and of itself is 9th house; but 'will I succeed', which is essentially what this question is, is 10th.
Piscesascendant, I would also note here that tweaking the chart continually is sort of the antithesis of horary. Think of horary as an ice-storm: the moment that the water freezes and becomes ice is like the moment when a question 'freezes' in the Universe. Because you are still essentially guessing the *exact* time you first thought of the question, it is enough to simply accept the 'time' of the question as the time you posted it. This may seem somewhat unsatisfactory, because you are getting an answer that you don't like, but horary is a bit like surrendering your own Will up to the gods. You asks your question, you gets your answer. Tweaking the question/chart is a bit like saying, "Yeah, but that's not what I meant; I meant this instead." The stars generally know exactly what you mean, and the first chart/first question will always yield the true answer.
So your initial question was, "Will my poems get published in this magazine?". This is the gist of your question, and your background information supports this to be the true question. The chart shows the situation to be accurate: your poems are 'concealed', you do not connect with this particular publisher. There might be future luck with publishing. That is that.
It is unwise to try to read other stuff into the question, like self-publishing and who else might publish it, because this is not stuff you asked about. In horary, keep it simple. Answer the question that was asked. The first chart you submitted is 'good enough' to get your answer. Horary is not like natal, where you can go around and around and find further symbolism for unrelated 'business'.
It's a bit like the old Dragnet thing: 'Just the facts, ma'am'.
