So cool that @vpresspoetry have a guide to 'Structuring a Pamphlet' on their website. Found it when reading up on their submission guidelines. Optional donation suggested. Thank you @Sarah_James for putting it together, such an invaluable document for first-time-publishing poets!
Excited to read with @sarahwestcott1 (@PavilionPoetry@Braag) at this free ecopoetry @NottmPoetryFest event next Sun (June 9), 7pm, online -- hope to see you there!
