I Have a Dream, Now Where Do I Print It ?
an article by Sarah Cypher
"What's the difference between traditional publishing, vanity publishing, self-publishing, and print-on-demand? ... these terms can make your head spin. All you want to do is get your work published, but now that the writing is done, you find yourself faced with some difficult questions:
Are you willing to run the submissions gauntlet to get your book on a New York editor's desk?
Or should you do the work yourself, and pay all your publication expenses out of pocket?
Or would you rather pay a print-on-demand company to print and market the book for you? If so, which one do you choose?.." [Go to Article]

Electronic Subsidy Publishing: An Inexpensive Alternative?
an article by Moira Allen

"While many authors and publishers advise against any form of subsidy publishing, electronic subsidy publishing appeals to many writers for a variety of reasons. It can, for example, provide many of the advantages of self-publishing (including complete control of the product) for less hassle and at a greatly reduced cost. Books can remain "in print" as long as you're willing to pay the registration fee, and you don't end up with boxes of unsold books in your garage.." . [Go to Article]

Interviews with 3 Editors
Monitor poetry editor, Elizabeth Lund, went to three magazines where poetry does receive its due and has for years. She spoke to Judson Hale at Yankee, Peter Davison at The Atlantic Monthly, and Alice Quinn at The New Yorker. She asked about poetry, its place in their publications, and in our world. What they told us in return is insightful, engaging, and at times disconcerting.

For the love of poetry Why one tiny press carries on
an article by William Corbett
Pressed Wafer is a five-year-old press that has published poetry books, poetry chapbooks, two issues of the magazine Pressed Wafer, broadsides, and postcards.... Pressed Wafer [is its staff and] Pressed Wafer is hundreds of books ... in the basement ... If the money is available, it is easy to publish these books; yet it is all but impossible to distribute them. And since they are seldom reviewed ... it is difficult for those who might be attracted to these books to learn of them. [Go to Article]
