Question: ANYONE KNOw!?!!?!!?!!?
How do I publish a book of poetry!? Its short about thirty poems and I don't have any clue how to publish it!. I want it published for real, like book form in stores and stuff not just online!. Anyone know how I could meet with a publisher or something to see if they like my book!? Or know an internet site where they have info or something!? I've worked really hard on them for a very long time!.
Thank you so much!.
By the way I also need some editing help I don't exactly have the best punctuation but the people who have read the poems seem to like them (because the are good, not for the editing)!.
Thanks againWww@QuestionHome@Com

Simply pick up an issue of Writer's Digest magazine or buy a copy of Poetry Market 2008 (or 2009) and start sending you material out!. It would of course help to publish individual poems in a magazine (there are quite literally thousands, not to mention internet websites that do the same)!. Additionally there is enormous information regarding contests--another good step forward!. Having an agent surely helps when getting a complete book published, but the market of agents for poets is much more difficult to come by than for prose!. The Poetry Market will have information on agents as well as publishers and contests, magazines et cetera!. That really would be your best source of information!.
