Poets! Want to make a name for yourself in poetry? Need to know what to do to publish your own poetry chapbook? Ten years ago, poet Anthony Chalk was asking the same questions. Now, after finding personal satisfaction and financial success in poetry — $15,000 is sales and royalties over ten years — he has written the guidebook that he was looking for when he started writing. NISA is proud to announce the publication of  An Adventure in Chapbook Publishing: Make a name for yourself in poetry.

Presented as a chapbook itself, this booklet will focus your energy on the actions that count as you enter the world of writing. Read why you should share your poetry with the world, familiarize yourself the nuts and bolts of chapbook publishing, learn how to properly submit your writing to literary magazines and journals, and pick up tips on developing your reputation as a writer. Tony takes his experience and makes it valuable to every writer.

Put aside those hours of searching the web and library for pieces of advice. Get all the basics here in An Adventure in Chapbook Publishing.

An Adventure in Chapbook Publishing is available for $9.95 plus $2.00 shipping and handling. Only cheques and money orders made out to NISA are accepted.
