ina world of my own
Hi. I have been visiting this site for almost a year and recently joined. You guys saved me from being scammed by a 'publisher'. I'm a poet and so technically, i'll probably have a tougher time than most of you. Currently, the full manscript of my poetry collection is with Tracy Brennan who represents internationally bestselling author Terry Prone (yay for me for doing the almost impossible). Some of the memorable moments of my career as as follows:
1. Kate Johnson of the Georges Borchardt agency called my work, ''Beautiful and poignant''. Unfortunately, the agency was not taking on new poets and had to decline. Sigh.
2. Bill Clegg of William Morris Endeavor also praised my work. Unfortunately, he ALSO wasn't taking new poetry. I cried for hours after that.
would love hear what stage your careers are as well.

Welcome to AW! This probably belongs in the main thread (this one is for a specific publisher and agency) where it will get wider response. I'm sure a mod will be along to move it shortly.

Since there's not a particular agent/publisher-related question here, I'm going to bump this up to New Members so folks can get to you. Welcome.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.
