Publish your poetry now

If you ever thought about publishing your poems but don't know how, please read on some helpful tips.

1] First, you need to read the type of poetry being published. You can go to a local bookstore to read an existing literary magazine or search for an online version of a literary magazine. If you think that sonnets are popular in poetry, you definitely need to look at what is currently being published.

2] either buy from

 Or check it out from the local library. You will find more than 1,500 places to submit your poems. With so many literary magazines, your local bookstore has no chance to carry them.

3] Please be sure to read each list carefully. The editor will tell you what type of poem they like, how to submit, suggest, and possibly the website so that you can see the type of poetry they publish.

4] Combat your target market. If you like to write religious poetry, then it is a waste of time to submit your poems to Gothic literary magazines.

5] Although most listings have an email address, don't send the submission via email without saying that it is okay.

The first five tips focus on how to find the market; the rest of the tips will focus on how your submission should be sent.

6] Don't write handwritten poems.

7] Make sure you have enough postage. If you have five or more, a stamp is not enough.

8] Make sure to include an SSE [Self-Addressed Stamp Envelope].

9] Make sure that your contact information [name, address, phone number and email address] is displayed on each page. If a company wants to publish your poem and then find out which poem it is, it's not good.

10] Make sure to include a cover letter. If the editor says "book cover preferred", it means they want a cover letter.

11] Don't use any fancy fonts; stick to basics like Times New Roman or Tahoma.

12] Check grammar and spelling errors before posting.

13] Make sure it is tidy.

14] Make sure to write the correct edit name on the envelope. if you have from

 The editor may have changed, and it has been more than a few months. Check out the updates on the website.
