FROM THE EDITOR

It’s hard to believe, but this is my 10th edition as editor of Poet’s Market. It feels like only yesterday that I opened my first From the Editor note with, “Poets are among the most passionate writers I know,” and it still holds true.

And my commitment to helping poets share their passion with readers is as true today as it was then. This edition of Poet’s Market includes advice on the business and promotion of poetry. Plus, I’ve bulked up the craft section, especially the poetic forms article that now boasts more than 60 poetic forms.

This edition tries to spark the creativity while providing the nuts and bolts of getting your poetry in front of readers. Of course, the big draw continues to be the listings for magazines and journals, book and chapbook publishers, contests and awards, grants, conferences, and more.

An entire world of poetry is at your fingertips. Be sure to explore it. Also, don’t forget to take advantage of your free poetry-related webinar by heading to http://www.writersmarket.com/2019-pm-webinar.

Until next time, keep poeming!
