Poets Market: Find Out How to Become Published
Many poetry writers wish to have their works published (and I don't mean self-published). For those of us who want our works to be seen in magazines, books, and other publications there is a simple way to find out who is seeking authors and how to submit our works. What I am talking about is Poets Market.
Poets Market is a book published yearly to help poets find publications seeking poetry. The book includes a directory of periodicals, magazines, e-zines, and other noticeable publications to help us find them.
Included in the book is a "how to" on how to handle our submissions. It states what should be included, the lengths, the types, what we should expect in return, and how long it will take for us to receive a response (some even offer critiques on how to make the poetry better) along with any other information needed.
The book also lists whether or not we should expect anything in return-other than knowing our work has been published. Some offer a cash reward, others offer free issues for us to give our friends and family. Each publication is different.
Overall, Poets Market is a great place to find a place to become published. Whether you are a new poet, a published poet, or just wanting to try your luck, Poets Market has what you need.
