I have always loved words–in fact, my mother tells everyone I was born with a pen in my hand. I have two chapbooks Emissions and Pieced Into Treetops, and have been published in several anthologies and journals, including The Found Poetry Review, Chagrin River Review, and Reconnaissance Magazine. I am a project manager by profession and reside in Utah with my handsome husband and our two outstanding children. You can follow my poetry adventures on my poetry page or on Facebook.

How To Market Your Poetry Online - guest blog post by Hayley Zelda

How To Market Your Poetry Online – guest blog post by Hayley Zelda

We use the latest technology to research our work and appeal to readers. We write, edit and revise so no verse or phrase or word is boring. We should do no less when appearing live. Here are some tips we picked up from our favorite book launches:
