I ask a book marketing expert and author if he could write a book to help poet authors and he replied with “poetry is too small of a genre to be worth my time”. His words exactly! Oh…I see. He’s evidently gotten too big for his pants to help an on the rise genre-us poets-that is and will soon catch up with nonfiction and fiction writers. He claimed he has to weigh the return in investments. Well, poets might be a small genre, right now, that’s not worth his time in investments, he deemed, but, a genre that is on the rise would seem to be a pretty good long-term investment. I mean, you don’t see many books that focuse on helping poets in publishing and marketing. That being the case, with all the poets out there-more and more everyday-struggling yet rising to voice their poetry in this chaotic world that badly needs it, would seem to make a written book to help them sell like hotcakes; especially since there aren’t hardly, if any, books focusing on this deemed small, yet rising, genre.
Poets rise up, let your voice be heard. Don’t let the pompous atmosphere of strictly nonfiction and fiction book marketing experts continue to think we’re TOO SMALL a genre to be deemed their so called expert advice, nor help. Let’s show them just how much an investment their missing out on.
Go poets!!!
