First things first: poets generally don’t make any money. A fair amount of people who do this just do it to do it; they’re not really in it to make cash. The artist-in-residence poets might get a stipend, but usually they’re not actually making an income while working.

Yes, publishing is difficult. And by publishing well, I mean publishing good poems in venues other people think are important, the kind of venues that can garner you literary cache. One of the first things you have to decide as a writer is how much that matters to you, literary cache.

Publish Your Poem in a Literary Journal The most common method of poetry publishing is to have one or a few of your poems published in a literary journal or literary magazine. Create a list of literary journals you think might be a good fit for your work. Select your top one-to-five poems that you plan to submit.

Here are 5 routes to publication.

1. Create a blog or share on social media.
2. Enter your poetry in literary competitions.
3. Publish in zines or pamphlets.
4. Send your work to publishers of books, collections and anthologies.
5. Read and submit to literary journals and magazines.

The cost to publish a book depends on a) the length of the book and b) the level of quality you want. Most authors spend $2,000-$4,000 to self-publish their books — this includes editing, cover design, formatting, and marketing services.

There is no need to copyright your book (with the U.S. Copyright Office) before submitting it. The publisher merely handles the paperwork on behalf of the author, and the copyright is the author’s property.

Self-publishing does not hurt your chances with a traditional publisher at all. The opposite is true, actually. Self-publishing a book and having success can make it more likely you’ll publish with a traditional publishing house. Major publishers like their authors to have an edge.
