Did you know that in some cultures,
the gift of poetry is seen as gifting a piece of yourself
​to someone you care about?


A Special Holiday Printing Service From Local Gems

Local Gems Press is not taking on new authors for single author collections at the moment, however, since the holidays are approaching and demand has been high, we have decided to offer this limited time special service. 

For a limited time Local Gems Press will be printing small pocket-sized chapbooks (24-48 pages) of poetry.  

Note: This is a formatting and printing, not a publishing service. 

​

Are you interested in having a small chapbook of your own poetry to give as a gift for the holidays?
​


How Does it Work?
​
Step 1: You send us the materials we need.
Step 2: We format and print the book.
Step 3: You have and amazing gift to give to family or friends (or to resell.) 
​

What We Need From You:

~ 15 of your original poems(100 lines or less each)

~  An original or public domain photo for the cover.

~ The name of the title poem (to be used as the book title.)
​
~ A short 3rd person biography. (About the author.)

We handle the rest!

Give the Gift of Poetry! 

In the interest of getting these chapbooks finished, printed and delivered for the holidays, Local Gems Press is only accepting a limited quantity of orders which will come on a first come, first serve basis. 

We will stop taking queries or submissions for this service for the year on:

November 10th 2022

If you are interested in taking part in the gift of poetry and want more information, please email us at:

localgemsgiftofpoetry@gmail.com



​Note: We've had a lot of queries this year even before announcing we were open for this, so reserve your spot ASAP.
