Publishing Your Poetry
An Online Course
January 15th - 21st, 2024
Writing poetry and publishing poetry are two different things. Many poets find getting their first few publications to be the hardest.
The publishers of Local Gems Press have launched books and anthologies in many countries and many US states, including over 120 anthologies. They have given seminars and talks on publishing talks virtually and in person and are here to offer a special series about getting one's poetry published. Using their knowledge of the trade from behind the scenes, they aim to arm the listeners with enough knowledge to change the rejection/acceptance ratio in their favor, and to help them find more opportunities for publishing their work.

In the world we live in today, there are so many more options for publishing one's poetry than just putting it into a book. And some of those options, when done correctly, can be far more lucrative and reach a far bigger audience than books usually can!
This course includes the recording of this seminar. |
