Hello, All,
In my search for a book publisher of poetry, I have become frustrated because a great deal of the publishers I have seen only want "literary" poetry and poems I usually don't write. I write traditional, inspirational poems. I had a poetry chapbook that I self-published that's up on Amazon, but it hasn't been selling too well.
People I have shared my poetry with keep asking for a new poetry book, but I don't know if I should self-publish my poems or go through a POD. I know I definitely don't want to take the e-book route.
Still, I can't find many publishers with reasonable fees for even this!
Should I just do it myself? I know it'll cost more money, but I'd hate to leave all of my poetry packed away in boxes. It's hard to find magazines that publish their kind, too, and I've been using nonpaying poetry forums to see what kind of feedback I receive on them
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
