Question:

Publishing Poems?

I would like to publish my poems. Is there any company that offers payment? I've found a few sites but they aren't accepting right now. Any help would be great! thank you.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best thing to do is find magazines and journals that accept unsolicited submissions and start mailing them out. It's unlikely that you'll find a publishing house that will buy an entire collection of poems from someone who is unknown and otherwise unpublished. It usually takes a long time to start getting paid for your poetry or other writing.

You can always publish with a vanity press, but you will be responsible for paying for everything. I'd avoid these if you're serious about becoming a professional writer; they're really a waste of money, unless your only goal is to have a book of your own stuff to show to family and friends.
