He ...Collin is an expert at promoting his own work. He gets out there and hustles, which is what you have to do to sell copies.<BR/><BR/>In the early 90s, I self-published and hand-sold about 250 copies of my first chapbook, _Brave Walking._ While I'm happy to leave most of those early poems way, way out of print, I'm hoping to go with one of several small presses for my first (long-overdue) full-length collection. When that happens, I plan to spend a lot of weekends on the road. <BR/><BR/>Have a look at Jericho Brown's new book and new website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.jerichobrown.com/<BR/><BR/>He's a friend from MFA days at the University of New Orleans, and his work just blows me away. The book is forthcoming any second now, and he's booked a couple of dates in Atlanta for this spring. Advance planning is key. You might not get cut to the front of the line at Dodge or keynote your favorite conference, but you can make a way for yourself by using your connections.nolapoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729185501953937947noreply@blogger.com
