2007 Poet's Market

Edited by Nancy Breen
Writer's Digest Books, an Imprint of F+W Publications
Paperback

Poets wanting to see their poetry in print have the newest edition of the annual Poet's Market to guide them. The 2007 edition contains more than 1,800 listings for magazines, journals, publishers, contests, workshops and more.

Poets just getting their start or with hundreds of published poems under their belt can benefit from this 100-percent updated guide. From complete market listings to articles just for poets, the content is exclusively for poets wanting to enhance their writing and seek publication.

Expert articles show you how to get started, how to know if you're being conned, how to promote your work and how to avoid the common mistakes poets make. You'll also find answers to poetry-related questions such as how you should format submissions, what chapbooks are and if you can submit handwritten poems.

A special section on grants also gives you the info you need to obtain financial backing to support your poetry writing. Other resources include poetry conferences where you can network with accomplished poets and make contacts as well as insider reports on poets who've become very successful writing poetry for a living.

Bookworm's Briefing
The art of writing poetry deserves its own book to getting published. The 2007 Poet's Market gives all poets a great place to start to look for a home for their poetry. Any poet actively seeking publication needs the current year's guide to stay on top of the poetry industry's changing needs.
