The Poet's Survival Guide
The Poet's Survival Guide
Contains 17 informative chapters for new or established poets trying to earn and make a living with poetry. Poetry journals and magazines are well known for paying in copies, which is nice if you like most poets enjoy reading. However, this doesn't pay the bills. If you are able to explore all forms of the craft, your odds increase as to your likelihood of getting published ... and paid! The Poet's Survival Guide will give you an insight into the tools you need (and probably already have) to make a decent living or a fair amount of extra income at writing poetry or writing in forms similar to poetry.
Includes links to poetry marketing, poetry publishing and other writing resources.
The readers who buy poetry and/or just read it are few and far between,
but there is a market for it out there. More importantly,
there can be a market for you as a poet in your own home town.
Plus there are other ways you can use your skills for writing poems to
earn money with poetry related writings. The nice thing
about poetry is that the investment of time and work for the poet or
writer can be much less compared to something like a novel or screenplay which
can take years to finish - not to mention how much longer it can take to get
them published. People who read poetry tend to make up a
diverse audience which means they also tend to be widely read. &
nbsp; Why not take your poetry and parlay it into other writing
venues besides poetry as well as into paying poetry publications?
From Chapter 6 -- "POETRY CHAPBOOKS": "There are several ways you can go about having a chapbook published. There are several options available such as chapbook poetry competitions, chapbook poetry publishers and self-publishing or printing your own chapbook."
From Chapter 8 -- "YOUR POETRY WEB PAGE": "The content is up to you, but the internet is a great promotional tool that every poet should take advantage of simply because it is instantly accessible to anyone with an interest 24 hours a day."
From Chapter 9 -- "YOUR OWN EZINE OR EGROUP": "Ezines and Egroups are great tools to promote your poetry career and essential tools to help gather supporters of your work because eventually supporters end up being buyers or influencers of buyers."
From Chapter 12 -- "POETRY WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES": "If you're an experienced poet and have taken some classes or maybe have a degree in poetry, then if you're comfortable teaching others you can hold your own workshops or classes."
From Chapter 15 -- "WRITING REVIEWS": "Writing a review of another poet's work or a poetry magazine, gives you a chance not only to read someone else's work, thus enhancing your knowledge of the craft, but it can give you a sort of back door or less used door to become known to poetry publishers."
