With so many poetry anthologies,
books, digests and journals that are
currently available, there has
probably never been a better time
for poets and freelance writers to
get published. Poetry has always
been a popular form of writing. It’s
taught in school, it’s helped create a
thriving greeting card industry, and
even influenced pop music. And
there’s a lot of great new poetry
that’s being published today.
If you’d like to publish your poetry,
here are a few tips from the pros to
help get you started:
“If you want to write poetry” says Anne
Beauchamps, “then read poetry. The
more you read, the better you’ll write.
You’ll learn what’s being published
and who’s publishing it. It may sound
obvious, but if you want to publish
your poetry, read a lot of poetry”.
Ariel Northwood reminds us that
“there’s a lot of poetry being published
today. Hundreds of poetry journals
and anthologies come out each
month. To get published, you have to
write unique, original poetry that’s
unlike anything out there, and to find
your niche. If you want to publish your
poetry, your poems have to stand out
and be unique to attract a publisher”.
