Every year, I come to this book with the same goal: Let’s make this book more useful for poets than ever! For this year’s edition, I attempted to pack in more listings than ever for poets in every section: Magazines/Journals; Book/Chapbook Publishers; Contests & Awards; Conferences, Workshops & Festivals; and even Organizations.
This edition of Poet’s Market still includes articles covering the business, promotion, and craft of poetry, because I believe there’s always a need for that extra advice that helps poets find more success than they did before picking up this book. Some of the new articles this year include “6 Ways to Promote Your New Book,” “How to Take Poetry to New Audiences,” and some craft pieces. I may be biased, but I think the Poet’s Market 2016 is the best edition yet.
That said, I’m probably already trying to figure out how to make the next edition even better. If you have any ideas, be sure to send a tweet to my Twitter handle below and leave me a comment at the Poetic Asides blog (URL below). Because as a poet myself, I want this book to help other poets as much as possible.
By the way, don’t forget to take advantage of your free poetry-related webinar by heading to http://www.writersmarket.com/pm16-webinar.
Until next time, keep poeming!
