Who is a good company to publish poetry with?

It's easier to publish poetry with magazines then as a book. Usually they won't publish books of poems by someone who has never published before.\n\nI suggues starting with "Poets Market" which is a list of magazines, and other publishers with what they want, and how they would like you to submit.\n\nAnother suggestion is to find a magazine who deals with the subject of your peom (if it's about horses a horse magazine, about gardens a gardening one) and if it's really good sometimes they will publish it.\n\nAlso, google "poem guidelines +(genre or subject of peom)" and you can find some e-zines, many paying, that will publish them.

Why not ask the friend who gave you the present for the poet's name and the title?  Or, go to the poetry section at the bookstore and look through some poetry books and anthologies.  I think there are even poetry anthologies that are specifically focused around weddings.  So even if you can't find that exact poem, you can still find another poem that works just as well.

What kind of writer? Poet? Novelist?\n\nBefore you good to a publisher, you need to have actually written something. Have you written a manuscript or a collection of poems yet? Publishers need something to read!\n\nIf you're already at that stage, then...\n\nFor poetry:\nhttp://www.salmonpoetry.com/\n\nFor Novels:\nhttp://www.dorrancepublishing.com/info.asp?program=internetgoogle&gclid=CPu-3JHep4ICFUgoJAodjTfLBQ\nhttp://www.inkwaterpress.com/special.asp\n\n\nA lot of people self-publish these days...\nHere's some resources:\nhttp://www.bookhelpdesk.com/\nhttp://www.writing.com/main/showcase/t/self_publish.html\n\nIf you have anymore questions, you can email me at:\nblueharbor22@yahoo.com

Aw, that's cute. :)\nI probably could whip up a poem for you, but I usually charge. I'm a published poet you see. I'll do things for free for my friends though.\nJust send that poem. If you wrote it yourself it will be that much more special to your friend. :)

You won't get much time of day with a mainstream publisher, unless your name is already well-known, or your story is VERY timely for the market, or you are personal friends with someone in the position to make decisions regarding money.\n\nPublishing is a tight business. Only a certain number of books can be published per year by each company; and they are swamped by many more manuscripts than they have room to deal with. Right now, you don't even have a manuscript... so odds are you won't get anywhere at all.\n\nWhat I would do if I were you: Look around the web for writer sites (there are many out there!), where writers who are constantly writing and selling get together to share knowledge and tips and encouragement. That information will be valuable to you... and plus you can post your request on the forums and see if anyone bites to be your ghostwriter.\n\n(You don't have to agree to the first person who responds, you should get a feel for them before making any commitment.)\n\nYou will also do well to write up a book proposal. Many book publishing companies usually have them on their site, for download. Generally, you need to state your name, contact info, title, general description of book, table of contents, marketing ideas, what you can do to advertise your book, and so forth. \n\n(You want to list the things that you think can help the company feel that you are a risk worth taking, but you want to do it concisely as possible because time is a priority to them.)\n\nYou can also think about finding an agent to help you. Good agents do not demand a fee/percentage until they sell your book. Again, the writer sites can help with this.\n\nFinally, I would recommend contacting smaller niche publishers. Your competition is less, and most of them are more willing to publish things off the beaten path, with smaller print runs. You will probably be much more successful contacting smaller houses.\n\nBe ware of self-publishers, many will overcharge or take advantage of you. They have their plusses, but usually it's not a good financial investment (especially Print on Demand) -- it depends on how many copies you plan and want to sell.\n\nSorry this is not more detailed, but you can find material all around the web. Good luck.\n\n(btw, while you say you are not a writer, your question shows you have a good command of writing. You might just need someone to help you organize your ideas.)

be very careful about "storing" your creative writing online. \n\nif you want to just "store" it... use discs, files, ports. if you want to "submit" it for publication..then submit it to the appropriate place. \n\nIf you are just looking for "creative outlets" then try this website, epinions..or another site that fits your catagory. (poetry websites..etc.) or a blog.

Go to the library and find a book called the Writers' Market (it's in Reference).  This book lists every magazine & book publisher in the US with important information such as to whom to write a query letter, (which asks if they have interest in your article). It also lists names & addresses of the people you should contact, types of articles usually taken as well as the payment possibilities.  Good luck!

In your heart.  It would be way better than someone else's even if your not a regular poet, just poetically tell him what you want him to know.

Unless you are a prodigy and I am guessing by your spelling you are not, most publishing houses will not do this for free. And most won't publish unless you have an agent, and most agents won't take you unless you have been published (a biatch isn't it?) I have listed a company below that will aid you in publishing your works with out sponsorship from a major publishing company. It will cost you, but it guarantees publication and some distribution opportunities (such as Barnes & Noble, Walden Books, and some websites that just sell books).  If they are just short stories, send them into magazines, sometimes they will pay you for your stories. A word of advice, practice your grammar and spelling technics, it costs extra to have your manuscripts proofread. Good luck!
