HEY POETS! Getting published isn't easy. In fact, it's a draining process. But, you've got to do it, right? Get started on the right foot. What sort of poet are you, and where do you stand in your publishing career? Which direction should you take, and how should you attack it?
In Get Published:for Poets!, you'll learn how to finalize and submit your work, where to look, and what to do once it's out there. This is a crash course for people who might want to share their work casually as well as for serious poets who have a goal in mind. This course will focus both on single publication credits as well as books, with an additional focus on advertising and promotions.
