Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time
Posted on September 4, 2019 by Colleen M. Chesebro
I am re-sharing this information as I still have three FREE Kindle books remaining for my free giveaway of Fairies, Myths, & Magic – A Summer Celebration. I would love to gift these three books to my regular readers – NOT just my poetry challenge participants. If you live overseas, I will gladly email you a mobi copy. ❤
Colleen!

I have a deep fondness for all forms of poetry, especially syllabic poetry. So, I would like to assist my poetry challenge participants in advertising their poetry books. As authors, I know we all struggle to get reviews. I know I do…
If you have participated in my challenge for at least six months or more, I will create a widget with a link to your Amazon Author Page on my blog where your poetry books can be found. This will help my readers find your books.
Please understand, this promotion is only for regular participants in my weekly poetry challenge and only for books that feature “poetry, or poetry and short stories, and/or a combination of flash fiction and poetry.” All other books are not eligible at this time.
I’ve also create a page that shows up on my widget menu where your book images and links to your Amazon Author Page can be located. This listing won’t be alphabetical. I’ve called the page: Poetry Books for Sale.
I need an image of your book (or all of your books in one single image) and the link to your Amazon Author Page. Please email your information to me at tankatuesdaypoetry@gmail.com.
As poets, we should all be helping other poets promote their poetry books. I love writing and READING poetry… do you?
Check out this article by the Alliance of Independent Authors below:
“This failure by poets to self-publish is not, as you might think if you haven’t been paying attention to poetry, because this is a dying genre with little or no readers. On the contrary.
For the past several years, poetry books have been experiencing a surge in sales. In the US, for example, the category has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 21 percent since 2015, making it one of the fastest-growing categories in publishing. The latest Nielsen figures for 2018 show poetry sales hitting an all-time high of £12.3m – nearly double what it was in 2012, when I started self-publishing poetry books…”

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”
—Dylan Thomas

Colleen's syllabic poetry has appeared in the Auroras & Blossoms Poetry Journal, and in “Hedgerow, a journal of small poems.” She’s won numerous awards from participating in the Carrot Ranch Rodeo, a yearly flash fiction contest sponsored by carrotranch.com.

Hopefully, I’ll have been with you long enough to catch the next one💜
