I’m a DC-area writer – you might have seen my work in DMQ Review, Notre Dame Review, Mannequin Envy or other journals. After enduring the long process of sending out manuscripts – being a finalist three times in the Washington Writers’ Publishing House book competition, and receiving other praise but in thin envelopes – I was notified by WordTech Communications in March that my first book of poems, Between Gods, will be published in March 2012 by their Cherry Grove Collections imprint.
I’d love to hear from authors who have been through the publishing process.
Between Gods 
Hello there! Congrats on your book, and thanks for your comment over on my blog. Maybe when the time draws nearer, we can exchange advice and experiences on arranging poetry readings. For now, I wonder if you could tell me how you’re going about getting endorsement blurbs? Cheers!
Donna, I’d love to see the artwork since it’s from the same artist on my book! You could email me or send me the link at my email address below.
Thanks for your note on my blog!
best
Kelli
