Chapbook Festival


My wife and I attended the annual chapbook festival today at the graduate center of the City University. It was my third and her second. We wondered from table to table chatting with the publishers, reading some of the works, and gathering information. I'm strongly considering contacting one of these publishers to publish one of my chapbooks in the future. This is a great venue because it's very difficult for new writers to break in with major publishing houses. 

Chapbook feature not only poetry but prose, non fiction, fiction and novellas. There were workshops that gave demonstrations on how to make chapbooks. There were poetry readings, forums, and panels. I will post a few publishing houses below. All you authors who desire to have your work published, here is a great opportunity.
