A volume to treasure
Publishing poetry with care
Few books carry the same meaning, for author and reader alike, as a beautifully made collection of poems. Where some publishers are cautious about taking on new poets, self-publication can be the perfect way into the market — or simply a way to create a volume friends and family will treasure for generations.
- Advice on binding style and format
- Cover design and illustration
- Retain editorial control
- Print on demand or short run printing
Self-publishing poetry is always charged with emotion. Indeed, few books have the same meaning, for author and reader alike, as a beautifully written poetry volume. Whatever your work’s perspective, publishing poetry is a niche area where many publishers are cautious about taking risks with new authors. Don’t be deterred: if you’re frustrated by trying to find a poetry publisher, self-publication could be the perfect way into the market – or just to create a volume that friends and family will treasure for generations.

For anyone wishing to publish poetry, the convenience of having these services under one roof can really simplify the process.
Choosing Between Poetry Publishers
Having decided to publish poems, you might be lucky enough to get an established publisher who knows how to publish poetry commercially. However, the fact that you’re reading this probably means you’re considering self-publishing. In that case, ‘choosing a publisher’ really means ‘choosing the right partner to help you self-publish’.
How we can help you when you are self-publishing poetry
As well as experience with self-publishing and printing poetry, your prospective partner should be committed to supporting you in a friendly and personal way at all times. Look for a company that actively encourages you to visit them, that offers all the services you’ll need under one roof, and that’s open and transparent about the costs.
Above all, trust your instincts when you approach companies about how to publish poetry. If they offer the services you need, answer your questions well, have a wealth of publishing experience and feel ‘right’, the likelihood is that you’ve found a good one. Are we right for you?
