Review

Thomas Williams' Poet Power! The Practical Poet's Complete Guide To Getting Published covers every aspect and facet of the process of submitting poetry for publication. Williams explains how the business of publishing works and provides a crash course in the economics of publishing and what it means to the aspiring poet seeking publication. Poet Power! goes on to explain what editors want and the "7 Secrets" of publishable poetry; how to get published in magazines; how to have a volume of poetry published; designing and publishing one's own books of poetry; becoming the editor of one's own chapbook series; selling poetry in bookstores, retail outlets, and catalogs; gaining personal visibility in order to succeed as a published poet; and how to enhanced one's reputation as a published poet in order to achieve worthwhile goals and becoming a spokesperson for poetry in the community. "Must" reading for all aspiring poets yearning to break into print, and for published poets seeking to expand their literary audiences, Poet Power! is reader friendly, authoritative and accurate, comprehensive and practical.

From the Publisher

Let's face it. Poets are often notoriously bad business people who don't have the knowledge or patience to get published and make money off of their work. This is the only book that covers all of the nuts and bolts of poetry publishing in one place, and Williams does it in such a way that inspires even the least business-savvy poets to start submitting their work for publication.
