POETS WRITERS NOTICE:
First we would like to thank the many people who took the time to send us
their poetry manuscripts, and to express our regrets, that though man of
those works showed promise and extremely a great deal of candor, as a small not
for profit organization we have little time to school and nurture everyone as we
would wish.
Originally we:
Wanted legal rights to publish original poetry work from original author in
5.5"x8.5" format,
40-64 pages (equals approx 20-32 letter size format single spaced). Must be in
finished manuscript form submitted with personal particulars and brief resume (1
page). Contractual obligations are involved parties must have legal rights to
original work.
Many of those works were in need of a lot of editing and in consideration of
the artists involved we decided to to become further involved.
It has been our view that BLOGS ARE BLOGS, PUBLISHING IS PUBLISHING and that
the two are quite different where often besieged by the costs of traditional
printing and print on demand (POD) publishers poetry has become even more
unprofitable to publish.
On one hand using traditional printers would require large quantities of works
in order to make a poetry publishing project feasible and the high costs of
print on demand books make them uncompetitive. Lastly if neither are utilized
the poet as Walter Whitman and Allen Ginsberg stated, having to give away for
free recitations just to become known to garner a ready audience and forsake
profits to get into print.
We had hoped that what we were to do was to create a "long term" opportunity for
the publishing of "multiple books" we asked for "whole manuscript[s ]" and
perhaps we could have tried to have been clearer but we didn't.
Following the "business model founded" of "Moses Asch and Marian Distler in
1948" perhaps we over estimated society's need as there are today many avenues
for poets though albeit not always worthy as so maybe we became anachronistic in
our concept that artists could escape being "pawn[s] of the Fortune 400" slash
big corporate world. In that we then and forsake for the moment of doing so
through "Long Term Catalog Sales" as we did.
As of the present we have through our website services a number of slots for Ad
free Word Press blog installations that if any one would be interested they
could inquire and find us amicable as they are part of our excess capacity. the
Word Press I am using is fully configurable with standard plugins using the web

Good luck
Best wishes
