Poetry Book Master Course! 



The publishers of Local Gems Press have taught many seminars on topics on putting together, publishing and marketing poetry books. Hundreds of people have attended these seminars and gone on to produce books from the resulting knowledge. But there is always a demand for more; a more inclusive mastery level offering. In addition, Local Gems Press is only one publisher, why not get some expert advice from some other publishers as well? That's what the poetry book master course is about! 

​To make this series even more special, we have instructional interviews from two other well-known, hard-working, accomplished publishers: Crisis Chronicles Press and Human Error Publishing. They both talk with Local Gems Press publisher James P. Wagner (Ishwa) about what they look for when accepting poetry books, and various ways to build audiences and market poetry books in today's world. 


​Series Includes:
