The following article provides a thorough explanation of what a chapbook is and what benefits it provides a poet. It concludes with a list of current publishers who accept and print chapbooks.

Serious about your poetry and want to see it in print? How about cheap gifts of your work to give to friends? Going to be brave and do a poetry reading and want a little something to sell on the side? Chapbooks.

How many pages ought there be? Should you publish it yourself? Where do you even begin? You've tried this already but need new tips or new publishers to submit to?

pelwrath: On there way,Raveneye. I thought I'd sent them on Wednesday. It was in draft. Sept 19, 2021 23:04:59 GMT -6

pelwrath: Hasn't been a good weekend, four stories came back rejected, no other info on them. Sept 19, 2021 23:06:12 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: Right you are, slbutler, right you are. Sept 20, 2021 15:04:53 GMT -6

pelwrath: I’ve only had such a contract for a story once before. That doesn’t excuse my stupidity. Sept 20, 2021 15:37:51 GMT -6

pelwrath: Did about 1200 words on Vampire #2 this morning with more for tonight. Wife and daughter watching Candyman. Sept 20, 2021 17:11:05 GMT -6

pelwrath: My wife said with pouting eyes, “don’t you want to watch Candyman with me?” Horror not a genre of preference. Monster scary (Alien, etc.) fine. That said, movie isn’t that bad with an interesting twist at the end. Sept 21, 2021 11:40:08 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: Oh, ugh, no! Saw that one waaaaay back. Never again. Not my genre either. Still, I've never said "Candyman" three times while looking in a mirror. No way! LOL Sept 22, 2021 11:49:31 GMT -6

pelwrath: This one is brand new and answers questions from the first. Sept 22, 2021 12:04:10 GMT -6

HDSimplicityy: i dont think Ive seen it either. Sept 22, 2021 15:05:34 GMT -6

pelwrath: Researching the city of Edinburgh isn't hard, but trying to connect two disjoint locations in and near the city for my book 2 draft, ain't easy. Sept 22, 2021 20:04:13 GMT -6

Caulder Melhaire: We've been joking about Candyman at work because the lead was excited to see it Sept 22, 2021 20:17:27 GMT -6

Caulder Melhaire: "Okay, you guys go home and say candyman 3 times in the mirror and then come back and tell me what happens" Sept 22, 2021 20:17:40 GMT -6

Caulder Melhaire: No, I don't think I will :lshic:

HDSimplicityy: I understood that reference. Sept 22, 2021 20:26:10 GMT -6

HDSimplicityy: not the movie lul Sept 22, 2021 20:26:31 GMT -6

pelwrath: It's five times,not three. Sept 23, 2021 0:06:14 GMT -6

whaleworkforfood: What do you guys think happens if you say Candyman (or Bloody Mary or any other mirror-related apparitions) non-consecutively? Like if you say Candyman once tonight, then says Candyman again the next night. Do you still summon Candyman? Sept 23, 2021 7:58:06 GMT -6

pelwrath: If you're saying with the knowledge of what could happen, then too bad for you. Also, the new movie provides an interesting definition of mirror. Sept 23, 2021 9:58:08 GMT -6

Caulder Melhaire: I think it has to be consecutive or else my parrot-y butt has unknowingly summoned Mary Worth several hundred times by now LOL Sept 23, 2021 14:52:33 GMT -6

Alatariel: What about with Beetlejuice? I think it must be within a certain time-period, like the same minute or something. Sept 23, 2021 16:20:49 GMT -6
