Dear Friend,
If you're passionate
about
poetry... if you'd love to get your work
published, but aren't sure how to do it... then
this is going to be the most exciting message
you'll ever read.
Here’s why. Imagine walking to your mailbox…
You open it, and inside, there’s the letter you’ve
been waiting for. You
don’t really have time to read your mail right now, but this
one you rip open right on the spot.
With trembling fingers, you withdraw the letter, and read these words:
|
Dear
[your name],
Thank
you for the poems you sent in to us.
Your
poems really spoke to me, and I think my readers will love them too. Of
the five you sent, I want to publish the second one in the next issue
of our magazine, and the third and fifth in a later issue.
I’ve
enclosed a check for first rights to these three poems. If
you’re satisfied with the amount, please let me know as soon
as possible so I can get these poems into our production process.
I look forward to hearing from
you…
|
Before you even finish reading, you notice you’re jumping up
and down. Strange—you don’t remember
starting to dance, yet here you are…
Does this sound like a fantasy? It shouldn’t. If
you’re reading these
words, I’m convinced you too can be a published poet. And legitimately
published…not being suckered by the poetry scams out there
nowadays.
There is one drawback, though. Your first acceptance letter will make
you do the
“happy dance” just like I described
above…and it makes you look really silly.
(Trust me on this one. Do it in private.)
Getting published—even getting published frequently—isn’t
as hard as you think. In fact…
I’ve discovered a
simple three-step process
that any poet can follow to get published!
Here’s what it’s all about…
I first did the “happy dance” back in 1989. (Yes,
I’ve been writing for a
while!) I even got paid $100 for my first publication. (Not too shabby,
especially since I would
have done it for free.) But over
the years, I had a lot more success publishing nonfiction than anything
else. So I decided to find out why. How could I “crack the
code” on publishing fiction and poetry?
As I investigated, I
learned a few things…
There
are thousands—yes, I said thousands—
of legitimate
markets for your
poetry.
And many of them
are eager to work
with new writers!
Now, let me caution you up
front. You won’t get rich selling your poems. If you want to
get rich from your
writing, you’ll have to crank out schlock horror novels or
something. Even the
most successful poets don’t get wealthy from their work.
But you can make
some money. Although some
publications only pay contributor’s copies (free copies of
the magazine your poem appears in), many pay cash also. Some
pay a few dollars,
others up to
several hundred dollars, per poem. But we aren’t in this for
the money anyway—getting
your work out there in front of others is what counts.
You
pour yourself into
your poems…and when they’re
published,
you’ll know that you’ve truly and deeply
touched other people. Getting published means that others recognize the
value
of your work. And your friends and acquaintances will know it too.
I know what it’s like to
be a frustrated writer…accumulating piles of manuscripts on
your desk,
wondering if any of them will ever see the light of day. But
I’ve also learned
over the years exactly how the industry works (I’ve been
published many times
under various pen names, do frequent work as an editor, and just had a
book
published this year).
If
you’re still a “frustrated”
writer,
I’m
confident you can become a published
writer soon…
once
you know
how to do it.
That’s why I’ve written an
"Insider’s Guide"
showing you my step-by-step system for getting your work published.
Here’s what
you’ll discover:
- The one simple technique that
will practically guarantee your
success…but hardly any poets do it! (page 7)
- Frustrated
because you can’t find a market for your poetry? You’ll
be shocked at the number of
opportunities you have. (p. 4)
- The “dirty
little
secret” of large publishing houses, and why you
shouldn’t send your poetry to them (p. 22)
- How
to submit your work for publication, with clear instructions and
examples (starts on page 25)
- Here’s
a poetry market that’s huge…easy
for new poets to break into…and
best of all, has editors
from prestigious publications snooping around, scouting for fresh new
poets! (p. 14)
- A
magazine wants to buy your poem! Time to rejoice…unless the editor mentions this phrase.
If so, withdraw your poem immediately! (p. 12)
- The
one thing you’ll desperately
want to do before submitting your work for
publication…and
the reason you must never do it! (p. 11)
- How
editors form opinions of your work…before
they even read it! This can damage your chances of getting published, unless
you know how to use it to your advantage. (p. 32)
- Worried
about others stealing
your work? Here’s how to protect yourself. (page 47)
- “Chapbooks”:
what they are, and their surprising role in your success (p. 21)
- How
to get your local newspaper to write an article about you and your
poetry! (p.
20)
- Your local coffee
shops and independent bookstores will beg you to have a poetry reading...once
you do this! (p. 19)
- This
amazing market for poetry publishes more books of poems than all the
large commercial publishers combined…eagerly
accepts new writers…and you don’t need an agent to
break in. But
you’ve probably never heard of it! (p. 23)
- How
to go to your public library, ask one question, and get a list of thousands of publications that are
anxious to find good poems to publish! (p. 15)
- These
famous magazines publish lots of poetry, yet if you send in your work
(as so many do) and it’s not accepted, you can kill
your career as a poet. (Hint: it has nothing to do with getting a bad
reputation. page 13)
- Greeting
Card companies: are they a good market
for you? The "Big 3" companies won't accept poems from outsiders...but here's how to break into the
industry anyway! (p. 21)
- An
easy way to impress editors, and make them more receptive to your
work…before they even
read your poems! (p. 26)
- How
to find hundreds of places on the Internet that will
gladly publish your work. (p. 16)
This
is unlike
any other book
you’ll
ever read on poetry publishing!
Why?
Because you
wrote it!
Well,
not you specifically. But I put up a Web page asking poets just like
you what
their most important questions were. I got lots of great
questions…and in this
book, I’ve answered them!
Which
means no fluff. Just the answers you want to know.
You’ll
discover tips like…

certain publishers can cheat you out of the rights to your poetry
book…even if you
paid to have your book printed. Here’s how to avoid
this trap. (page 52)

you uncertain if your poems are ready to be

poetry (p. 45)

allow them to publish your poetry (p. 46)
- How
“paralleling” can help you get
published—except in this one situation, where it
can backfire
on
you instead. Here’s how to use it wisely. (p. 31)
- You’re
submitting several pages of poems. How should you send them?
The surprising answer (many editors actually get offended
if you do this wrong. page 29).
- When
mailing off your poems, doing this
common thing to the envelope (yes,
the envelope) can damage
your
chances
of getting into the magazine. Here’s how to
avoid
this common mistake (p. 32)
- What's the next
holiday on the calendar? Here's
how to use holidays to get your poems published. (p. 19)

to get “insider information” telling you exactly
how to break into a prestigious publication—for
FREE! (And you can do this for almost every publication out there, over
and over again.) (p. 26)

crooked poetry “publishing
opportunities”: if you see
any of these red flags, run away! (p. 53)

cover price…for each
copy that’s sold! (p. 46)
- Thousands
of poets send their work into these two publications each year.
Here’s why you should avoid
them instead. (p. 13)

probably never noticed them before. Here’s

you.
(p. 19)

SPECIAL
BONUS SECTION:
How to
Avoid Poetry Scams!
You’ve probably heard that
there are scammers preying on poets and writers…taking
advantage of our hopes
and dreams in the most despicable way. And
sadly, it’s true.
But that doesn’t mean you
have to fall for their schemes, as so many others have. I’ve
included a Special
Bonus Section that “blows the lid off” their
methods.
I show you exactly what
they do…how they try to cheat you…and how to
avoid their traps. Once you know
how they work, it’s easy to steer clear of them. (And once
you learn how, I’d
also ask you to share this information with all your friends. The only
way to
shut these criminals down is to take away their victims.)
So, how much could you
accomplish if you had this Guide? You could be a published poet
soon…seeing
your work in print again and again.
That’s why you should read
this book today. In fact, you could be
reading it 5 minutes from now...

Bravo...The
guide answered every single one of my questions and some I
didn't even think to ask. Please, if you decide to put testimonials on
your web site feel free to use mine, along with my email address. In
case anyone wants to write, I would certainly reply.

I appreciate your work very much as
poets, especially unpublished
poets, need this information. It is full of helpful hints and answers
questions that every writer asks. Thank you so much...

What’s
a Resource Like This Worth?
What
is
this worth…the
ability to be a
published poet? Knowing how to get your work in print…a
steady stream of
publications for the rest of your life? The public validation and
thrill of
being published over and over again?
In a way, this book represents
16 years of my life.
Everything I’ve learned about publishing, not only from my
own experience but
also from others’, is summed up here. If you were to have a
book like this
written for you, it would take a full-time researcher a week or more to
dig out
this kind of “insider” information. That would run
you about $750 to $1,000 (I
checked).
That’s why this
Guide is such a bargain at $19.77.
Frankly, this is underpriced,
and the price is
going up soon. This Guide is new on the market, and I want to gather
more
testimonials and success stories from people who buy it. Once I have a
few
more, the price will go up to $19.77. But for now, you can get it for
the much
lower $27.77.
90-Day 100%
Risk-Free
Money Back
Guarantee
If you're not happy, it looks
bad on me. So if you're not happy with my
Guide, I don't expect...or want...to keep your money. Just
whip
off an email to me and I'll happily refund your money in full (in fact, I'd be embarrassed to
keep it).
But... the book is yours to
keep no matter what, as a "thank you" gift from me!
So you
really can't lose. The book's yours no matter what!

Could this be any fairer?
But
I’ll tell you
what. I’ll also throw in,
absolutely FREE, the following resource…
FREE
BONUS:
Get Rhymes for Any Word With
This Rhyming Software
(Any Word that Has
Rhymes, Anyway!)
If you craft rhyming
poetry, you need
this software. Just type in a word, and up pops a list
of
every English word that rhymes, listed alphabetically or by number of
syllables. There
are
several versions available for both PC and Mac.
How much is this software
worth? Just think of the hours and hours of time it will save
you. I've seen similar programs selling for $29.99 (yes, that's more
than I'm charging for my entire Guide, plus this
Bonus). And it’s
yours absolutely FREE with your order!
ONLY
AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME WITH THE PURCHASE OF:

But…I
don’t know how long
I’ll keep the price this low, or include this FREE bonus. As
I said, the price
is going up soon. So grab the Guide now, before it’s too
late.

As an
aspiring poet I needed three major pieces of information:
the quality of my writings, a "market" for my poetry and the
opportunity to make a living out of it. The Guide gave me everything,
and more. As I am so enthusiastic when writing, I found "the voice of
reason" in your Guide. Thank you very much for giving me a guardian
Angel.

Mr.
Arthur:
Although I've only downloaded the Poetry Success Guide three or four
days ago, I have read enough of the book to know that I'm on
to something big. I anticipate using your information to make
intelligent decisions in getting my poetry published. Thanks
for your help.
