Poetry Chapbooks: Creating & Publishing
2 Hours • with Gail Thomas • All Levels
Available spots
Class Description
If you have a group of poems you’d like to publish as a chapbook, this 2-hour workshop will guide you through the process. A good chapbook is more than a shorter version of a full-length book and more than a stepping stone to a first volume. You will learn how to select, edit and order poems and how to search for a publisher. Hands-on exercises will demonstrate steps of the assembling process. Writers who would most benefit from this class are those who have 20-30 pages of completed work. GAIL THOMAS is the author of six books of poetry. Trail of Roots won a Seven Kitchens Press chapbook prize, and Odd Mercy, chosen by Ellen Bass, won the Charlotte Mew Prize of Headmistress Press. Waving Back was named a Must Read by the Massachusetts Center for the Book and Honorable Mention by the New England Book Festival. Her work has appeared in many journals and anthologies including The Beloit Poetry Journal, Calyx, The North American Review, among others. Gail has been a fellow at The McDowell Colony and Ucross.
