Publication
Objective
If your goal is to become a best seller , a chapbook is not the way to go, but if what you're aiming to sell is small, conventional book publishers will not usually be interested. You might consider trying to sell your works to several literary magazines and such.
Size of Audience
Now, if you are trying to gain national recognition, you will most definitely want to submit your works, query letter and all, to conventional publishers.
Chapbooks will help you, though, if you are trying to reach a local audience.
This is not to say that a chapbook cannot get wider attention, especially with the the Internet; however, if you just want to get in touch with the people in your area, chapbook will definitely be sufficient.
Size of Publication
Chapbooks are relatively small. Usually, they are less than 50 pages in length, though a few of them are a bit longer.
Poetry and short stories are usually what chapbooks are best suited for.
Ways to Publish.
Self-publish at home. Chapbooks don't have to be complicated publications with a pretty glossy cover.
Some card stock, printing paper, software, the right stapler and a good printer can get you started.
Best of luck, now get started!

Poetry by Cher-Poem writing tips

Poem writing tips

A poem is one of the most personal forms of written expression. A poem is without . It should be open, honest, and accessible to the reader. If you have been bitten by the poetry bug. Write poems—lots of them. Write as many as possible, good or bad, then pick the ones you absolutely love and look at a way to get them published. Chapter books are a good start...(see blog on chap books.)

Learn the fundamentals of poetry. Don’t limit your study to reading published poems. That’s like looking at a car on the showroom floor to learn how the engine is designed. Look under the hood. Read books on the subject. Practice a variety of styles and forms. Most of all , keep it yours. Keep your style, your feel and your form.

Write from your own experiences, your own visions, your own thoughts. What you love, what loves you, when you are sad, when you are angry, happy, all the emotions that hit us in the gut.

Then write, write what you feel. You can form your poem however you like, you can write and rewrite it, the more you write, the faster you will see it suddenly form and come to life.

Finally...............enjoy what you are doing, if poetry is not a passion, but frustrates you, try something else, it may not be for you. If you love it, continue on, you will be successful!

Happy writing!
