Dear Soon-to-be-Published Poet:

Okay. I admit it.

I’m not in the least bit qualified to show you how to write poetry – much less get it published.

My only claim to fame in the poetry field is that I share a name with a world-famous poet - Robert Bly - and have been mistaken for him on numerous occasions.

But...my friend Veronica Yates can teach you how to write poetry … and get it published in literary magazines or "chapbooks."

"Getting your first poem published doesn’t have to be the daunting, remote notion far too many beginning poets envision," writes Veronica in the introduction to her new e-book, How to Write Poetry and Get It Published. "In fact, the process can be fun, and with more chance of success than you might think."

Meet Veronica Yates, your poetry mentor

Veronica Yates’ work has been published in Writers' Journal and is forthcoming in Rosebud magazine.

She was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2006 Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction in the Nimrod/Hardman Competition ... a third prize winner in the 2006 Artists Embassy International Dancing Poetry Festival ...and a poetry finalist in the 2006 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest.

Most important, as a successful poet who is still in the formative stages of her poetry career, she has a special empathy for - and understanding of - the needs and concerns of novice poets that some other poetry teachers do not share.

Grow as a poet and get your poetry published!

Now, in her new e-book How to Write Poetry and Get It Published, Veronica reveals all her personal secrets for writing good poetry and getting it published.

Including:

A daily “poetry workout” that makes you a better poet – without you even writing a single stanza. Page 15.
How to purge nonessential verses ... phrases ... ideas ... images ... and even words from your writing -- to make your poetry lean and flowing. Page 9.
Are poetry contests an utter waste of time and entry fees? The answer may surprise you. Page 23.
Turn your life experiences and memories into moving, powerful, and dramatic poems. Page 11.
Best poetry market directories ... magazines ... Web sites ... books .... collections. Page 29.
How to find the perfect magazine to publish your poem – and the best way to submit your work to them. Starts on page 22.
If editors turn down your poems for their publication, should you pay attention to the comments and suggestions they make in their rejection letters? Page 26.
Finding and joining a local poetry group and your state poetry association ... and why you should do so. Page 17.
A proven process for writing poetry – from concept to first draft to rewriting to publication. Page 12.
Grow as a poet by reading your poetry in front of a live audience. Plus: how to get rid of butterflies before you go on stage. Page 20.
How to connect with a "poetry mentor" – and the qualifications to look for when searching for one. Page 18.
Unique "greenhouse" filing system enables you to organize your ideas and random jottings into a rich source of ideas and text for new poems. Page 7.
Tips for maintaining your love and passion for poetry – and growing in your career as a poet. Page 28.
Where do ideas for new poems come from ... and how do they blossom into a full-fledged work? Page 4.
How to get a "chapbook" – a small book of your poems – published. Page 19.
And so much more ...

Poets and writers praise Veronica Yates
