Hi everyone, I have got inspirations from reading Shakespeareâs poetry and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle works and have some poems that I have written. There are many platforms on which I could place my poems but I want some suggestions from you people to help me know the places to present my poems.
Is this a wah ? If not, do what any other poet who wants to be published does.
Enter competitions.
Send your manuscript to publishers.
Send them to magazines that have poems in.
Send them to specialist poetry publications (journals etc).
Google on-line for poetry sites and put them on the sites.
Do all of that. If you are any good you might get lucky and get some stuff published. Even if you are any good, it is not a guarantee of success. Poetry is a very hard medium in which to be published and you will never make any real money out of it if that is your goal.
If your poetry is cr*p, you won't be published period.
Do not, whatever you do, be tempted to 'Vanity Publish' - generally these schemes are an absolute rip off.
Good luck.
