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?

Ugh, mermaid publishers strikes again. Just so ya know, this publishing company is very much on our black list for spamming, for bloating memberships with spam accounts, and being obnoxious. GO AWAY, MERMAID!

I've got some poetry for their chapbook:

Spammers themselves spammed
Our site flagged for viruses
Head void save for poo

Went digging for reviews because I had no idea they were scummy, and their website got flagged for malware by my browser guard! Sheesh. Maybe they oughta publish an IT professional first.

OMG, laugh my arse off! Last time I looked into their site, malware was not an issue, so yeah, I'm guessing they irritated the wrong folks and got owned. Hehe.

Shoutbox

Caulder Melhaire: I rebuilt the dang things the morning of the announcement cause it finally clicked LOL Mar 13, 2023 15:10:51 GMT -6

Caulder Melhaire: So I'm glad they're a hit

pelwrath: For any interested, I posted in Boasting about an essay (short) being read on a pod cast. It’s about Literature and Music. Mar 18, 2023 17:29:42 GMT -6

whaleworkforfood: Congrats pel! That's great news :cheers:

pelwrath: Thank you whale. Mar 21, 2023 19:03:13 GMT -6

pelwrath: It’s a great night when Harry Turtledove liked my response to a tweet! Mar 22, 2023 17:57:37 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: Ha, nice! :cheers:

RAVENEYE:

Only a couple days to go until we launch the April POETRY CONTEST! :bunny:

It has nothing to do with bunnies, I promise. Mar 28, 2023 9:52:12 GMT -6 *

ScintillaMyntan: Looking forward to it. Mar 28, 2023 11:14:21 GMT -6

Bird: first time using shoutbox on this new iteration of LF.... is there a search function on the site? i'm being lazy and want to search for a thread but not have to go through each subforum manually... lol Mar 28, 2023 17:51:37 GMT -6

Bird: i thought there was but now I'm just not seeing it lol Mar 28, 2023 17:51:59 GMT -6

ScintillaMyntan: Yeah, it's on the top bar of buttons. "Home," "Participated," "Help," Search." Mar 28, 2023 18:01:56 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: Oh, hey, look at that! We have a search function. Cool. It's kinda buried among the other menu buttons, ain't it.

Mar 29, 2023 12:40:48 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: And maybe I should get rid of Calendar. We never use it. And I can't find a way to make the calendar show up on the forum itself, with birthdays and things. :thumbdown:

Mar 29, 2023 12:41:56 GMT -6

Bird: omg, it's right there in the smack dab middle of that menu I never notice LOL Thanks all. feeling silly now Mar 29, 2023 21:07:23 GMT -6

Bird: Oh. okay. I guess we don't have a dedicated conlang discussion. All we have is the resource thread to input in conlang resources. huh. Mar 29, 2023 21:08:57 GMT -6

Bird: Also, the search tool is so robust and complicated. I really didn't need twenty fields. Just one lol Mar 29, 2023 21:09:20 GMT -6

Bird: there's a what to search set of fields, a where to search set of fields, a when to search set of fields, and a who to search set of fields. Thankfully I don't need to fill out allof them to search lol Mar 29, 2023 21:10:19 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: LOL, yeah, that's a bit overkill, methinks. :lshic:
