Lit Fest 2025

This seminar explores the three primary paths to publishing a book of poems: traditional (including independent and university presses), self publishing, and emerging opportunities in hybrid publishing. Each path has pros and cons, not only in terms of perceived prestige, but also in terms of cost, timeframe, and design and marketing support provided (or not provided) to the publishing poet. This class demystifies the options and provides clear next steps for poets seeking to publish a body of work.
