I see “history” is prominent in your tag cloud. You might like my friend’s blog http://www.rockyflatsfacts.com He started it to offer his book, but posts a lot of non-fiction book reviews, mostly on history. I post some reviews there, too, under “Ponderer”. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Hi Paul! I discovered your blog through Eric Alagan’s blog. You commented on being self published and not having the patience to wait for queries and decisions from publishing houses and I found myself feeling exactly the same. It seems self publication has been going well for you. I’ve got my book in the process of getting a cover and arranging the pages for self publication… Any advice?

I have never been able to get my head around the “chaff” element of editing. Significant winnowing has always been inherent in my creative process. I see the necessity of scrutiny for error, transposition or elided transition, but must “rigorous” editing be more than that?

I resist it – otherwise I’d make a change every time I re-read a poem – I stick to a simple routine – the day AFTER I finish a poem, I give it an edit runthrough just once and I’m done

I began religiously rigorous about the need to write a complete piece, start to finish, as if set in stone. I out grew that, thankfully. My creative process involves a hand written draft and at least three more transcriptions, each an opportunity to revise, but the need for alteration must be overwhelming to be satisfied. ;o)

Paul—do you ever publish in magazines? how do you solve the problem of most of your poems being on the blog (ie pre published)—I put all mine up on my blog but I’d really like to try to get some into other places

I was published in only a handful of mags, but I stopped submitting to them a long time ago – I’m too old for the patience the process requires – but when I did, I submitted unpublished pieces

Hello Paul, Morgan here. I’ve been wondering for a while and finally, under the prompting of a fellow writer you may know (Richard Ankers) I’ve worked up enough ‘nerve’ to inquire with you about your publisher. Do you self publish your poetry or have you someone you work with? I’ve been wanting to put together some books of my poetry for a while, but need the guidance of a marketing guru/publisher and Richard thought yours may fit what Im looking for. …so here I am inquiring, IF you don’t mind the question?
Thanks Ever So Much!

I self-publish, using the CreateSpace platform at Amazon. When I shopped my early poems and my first book manuscript with traditional publishers, I became frustrated and impatient with the whole process. So I created my own publishing company Stonewood Press LLC. I produce my books, not to make money, although that’s welcome, but to leave a tangible legacy of my mind for my 11 grandchildren. I’m no guru, but I’ve learned a lot. Marketing, however, is not one of my skills. This older post of mine may be of some help: https://poesypluspolemics.com/2014/03/16/lenzi-on-self-publishing/?wref=tp

Thanks so much Paul. 🙂 CreateSpace is definitely easy to use. My publisher is dragging his feet about publishing my poetry, so I was looking into other options.
