You write poetry, and your friends and acquaintances acknowledge that they are brilliant. Why don't you publish them in a newspaper and bring them to the general public? In addition, the editors of print media are always welcome good authors.
Instruction manual
1
Choose a newspaper in which there is a thematic strip where poetic creativity of readers is printed. Typically, these pages are in urban socio-political publications. You can also contact a specialized literary newspaper.
2
Call the editorial office. Talk with the person responsible for the poetic page, ask about the conditions for the publication of works, requirements for verses. Perhaps the publication has certain restrictions on the subject or volume. If you want to publish poetry in order to receive a fee, please also check this point.
3
Prepare a selection of your poems on various topics that work best for you — nature, seasons, love, friendship. Among them should not be large poems and novels - such works from little-known authors in the newspaper just will not be published.
4
Email your poetic work or submit it to the editor. A personal meeting with the newspaper editor and the responsible journalist for the thematic page will help speed up the publication of poems.
5
Ask the editor or journalist to read your poems and give them an assessment. Perhaps he will find errors in them, shortcomings due to which the work cannot be published. Let the specialist point to them, give advice on how to fix it.
6
If your work has been criticized to the nines, do not take it painfully. Analyze all the errors that the specialist pointed out to you. Rewrite the verse with all the comments. And let the specialist read it again. Your perseverance and perseverance will be appreciated.
7
Often, from the moment the author brought poetry to the newspaper until publication, several months pass. Therefore, remind yourself as often as possible. Call, be interested when the next edition of the poetic page is planned, and how soon you can see your poems on it.
note
Minimum quota, high competition … My opinion: poetry should be published with your own money, if the author is sure that this is not graphomania. Our most successful authors produce books with a circulation of 100-300 copies and independently sell them, returning almost all the money invested.
