This complete guide and motivational gem is a must-read for aspiring poets and published poets who want to expand their market. Tom Williams removes the mystery with a step-by-step explanation of the business, explaining how to get poetry noticed and what magazine and book editors want, including the "9 secrets of publishable poetry." Comprehensive in scope, "Poet Power" also addresses: designing and publishing poetry books; editing a chapbook series; selling poetry to bookstores, retail outlets, and catalogs; promoting and selling at poetry readings; getting media attention as a published poet; becoming a speaker on poetry in the community; using the internet, and much more. Williams's authoritative but accessible style comes from his own experience. Not only has he had his literary works published, he also built a successful publishing company from scratch.
