To market a batch of poems, poetry book, or chapbook, follow these steps:

• Notice the publishers of books or magazines you enjoy reading.

• Do these publishers have a website? If so, study the titles in their book lines and the poems or magazine articles in their archives.

• Make a list of the publishers whose work seems most in line with yours.

• Study and follow the writers' guidelines on each company's website.

• Submit a complete manuscript or batch of 3-5 poems to one editor at a time.

• Keep track of where and when you sent your work. If you do not have a response in 3 to 6 months, follow-up.

• While you wait to hear about one poetry manuscript, start another.

• If the editor returns your work, read it aloud. Listen for rough spots. Revise as needed, then submit your poems to the next publisher on your list.

• If you need help knowing how to improve your poems, read lots of poetry, and study the book Poetry: Taking Its Course.

• If you’re ready for professional one-on-one feedback, workable suggestions, and kind comments for your poems, get a critique from The Poetry Editor.
