I am a fairly new poet, and have been posting on blogger (angstandagony.blogspot.com) and on writing.com, and I've wondered the same things, whether it is smart to put them out there where anyone can see them without being published, and if it would be a problem with potential publishers if I had previously posted the poems online. anyway, plan to read some of your poetry, feedback on mine would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a swell dayAudacity of Sagacityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907766564701828457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-52319662020289148432009-09-21T07:01:58.313-04:002009-09-21T07:01:58.313-04:00Congratulations, Elaine!

That's a terrific story of feeling abundant with your poetry, and how sharing them led to an even wider audience!<br /><br />I have wondered these same questions but keep posting regardless. I mostly post things I write for poetry practice, not things I ever plan to try to publish. It's nice to hear that blog publishing doesn't always preclude print publishing, though.<br /><br />Way to go!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-4074946725743008862009-09-20T01:08:18.491-04:002009-09-20T01:08:18.491-04:00Elaine, I'm so glad you posted this.

When I was reading through my manuscripts and the original poems I'd posted at my blog the other day, I realized that I had written lots of poems that spoke to a particular theme. Then the light bulb in my brain turned on! I have even come up with a good title for the collection--I think.<br /><br /><br />Susan,<br /><br />Thanks! I believe people will be able to order the book through Amazon. I asked the publisher if I could accept the fee for my poem in copies of the book in lieu of a monetary payment.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-63734555398847778442009-09-19T10:45:00.046-04:002009-09-19T10:45:00.046-04:00Elaine, that is just wonderful!

This in itself makes me stop writing more. <br /><br />Wonderful that you have an idea for a new collection. I think that alone is a wonderful motivator to write, recognize your audience, and submit:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636018978692280499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-91284151891873639832009-09-19T09:23:00.069-04:002009-09-19T09:23:00.069-04:00Thanks, Tricia.
