Putting Together A Poetry Book
A ​Virtual Seminar


Many poets are eager to release their first book of poetry. But hand in hand with the eagerness comes multitudes of questions. What size should the book be, a chapbook or a full length collection? How should I structure the poems? Is a theme necessary? How do publishers like a poetry book to be submitted? Do I never need to use a traditional publisher? What about the cover? 

The publishers of Local Gems Press who have produced over 200 poetry titles are here to answer all these questions and more.

How Does It Work?

You can read it in advance, and use it to follow along on the live broadcast. During the broadcast there will be time allotted for questions and answers. Everyone signed up will be given the teleseminar number to call, and questions will be answered in order of call-in. 

What If I Can't Make The Time?

Got something the time of the live broadcast? The benefits of being virtual is flexibility. Everyone who signs up will be given a downloadable audio file of the live seminar once the seminar is complete. Have a question you still want answered even if you can't call in? Email it to us before the broadcast and we will answer it live.
