get my book published

I figured out a big kind-of outline for the book. Spent time going through the hundreds of pages I’d written and picked out what would be most pertinent.

I let that opportunity slip. I need to make a more organized plan on how to accomplish this. Too tired right now to think about it.

I heard a poet will be coming to Cleveland to do a workshop on Poetry and Healing. I will work on getting 20 of my poems/writings together and present it to him, asking for advice. I’d better move this up on my priority list, though. Not much time.

I have been collecting poetry since I was in junior high. Most of the poetry I collect is inspirational, spiritual, transformational. They are the ones that truly resonate with me. I am in the process of choosing around 20 of them, and writing briefly how they’ve contributed to my transformation. Then pose a question(s) to the reader asking what in the poem resonates with them. I have been sending these poems almost daily to a distribution list of friends, and the feedback is always interesting. One part of a poem may really strike me, and another part of them poem settles in someone else’s heart.

If anyone can help me on the publishing process, I would Greatly appreciate it!
