Publishing Your Poetry Chapbook: A Master Course
|
The poetry chapbook is often the first book a poet creates. Even veteran poets who have published many full-length books get into the trend of releasing smaller chapbooks on specific themes or topics or in response to specific poetry challenges, forms etc.
People use poetry chapbooks as gifts, legacy pieces, as a sampling of their work for potential features and more. The publishers at Local Gems Press have helped over 500 poets publish, print, or create poetry chapbooks, for various reasons. We've had a lot of requests for a more in-depth course specifically focusing on publishing or printing a poetry chapbook and that's exactly what we've done! |

A book launch is a special time for any author. Publishing a book is a huge accomplishment, and the launch event that follows should be consistent with the level of accomplishment that publishing a book is. The publishers of Local Gems Press have packed out book launches up and down the East Coast and are here to share their tried and true methodology to creating a packed house, a killer show, and increasing book sales.

There are hundreds of thousands of books published every single year. Whereas once upon a time, it was common practice for books to find their way into brick and mortar stores, a large percentage of books published or printed today never find their way into a traditional bookstore, or a store of any kind. The publishers of Local Gems Press (in addition to owning a book store!) have made many deals with physical retailers to carry their books. In this seminar they aim to cover this highly-requested topic.
