oh well


how many self-published professional-looking poetry books could i sell using only this blog, which means maybe like, making one or two reasonably-sized blog posts about it and having maybe an image of the cover in the sidebar which linked to a blog page just for the book which people could click on and then purchase?

is there another way i could have full artistic control over my poetry book but still have people read it without 'too much trouble' on my part and could this also be a situation where there is no pressure to succeed or whatever?

is anyone else slightly concerned about the possible swine flu pandemic?

50-75 I think, without knowing all the details.

you might check into some presses like scrambler books, fugue state, & six gallery - all are good small presses that seem to give much artistic control to the author and little pressure to sell big.

swine flu, yes. slight worry.

3000? yes, mark, i luv u

j.a. - 50-75 sounds reasonably like what i was thinking. i thought, 'wonder if i could make it to 100'

fugue state doesn't do poetry i think and six gallery is already reading a fiction manuscript of mine, but i do like those presses a lot. and i will check out scrambler, haven't heard of them, thanks

scrambler is newer - only two books of poetry so far - but they are the press publishing shane jone's A CAKE APPEARED

don't bother knocking said...

swine flu has just entered my state. I fear for my life.
