Poetry Writers
Poetry is probably the smallest market in the publishing world. Share with others publishing markets, inspiration, and thoughts about writing poetry.
My Pushcart Prize Nomination
It’s every serious writer’s dream to have a story nominated for the coveted Pushcart Prize, one of the highest honors in the writing world.
Publishers who publish stories and poetry can nominate up to six pieces of published writing per year to submit for a Pushcart Prize. While many publishers do this, being chosen out of all the pieces each publishes per year is, in itself, an honor.
I received a message this morning from Silver Boomer Books that they have nominated my flash story, “The Last Thing I Do,” for a Pushcart Prize. They also published my flash piece “Rituals” in this anthology.
“Last Thing” was published earlier this year in their anthology, Freckles to Wrinkles.
An explanation of the Pushcart Prize.

Another opportunity
Hi all,
We have updated our web site http://www.beauxreflets.com with a new page titled Collectable's; here we are publishing and celebrating work by others. It is an opportunity for poets and writers to gain additional exposure.
I hope readers enjoying a piece of work by a particular writer will feel inspired to visit that authors web pages or seek out their book on NB.
Why wait, plant another seed....
Regards Andy
Unexpected Promotional Reward
As a writer, I've always believed that. in some way, we need to reward those who help us. (Actually I believe that about all of life.) When I had my photo taken for my latest novel, I told the photographer and shop owner that I would acknowledge the Faces Studio in my book. I did. But I was so grateful to find someone who could produce a likeable photo that I also sent her a copy of the book. She was, after all, excited to know her work would appear on a book cover.
This is what she wrote in her recent email:
Aloha Mary,
How have you been? Thank you for the signed copy of your book and we also appreciate how you have quoted us inside the book. Our plan is to leave this book on our store counter to share with our customers and introduce your book and our work within it. I’m glad to hear that you really like the picture and if you ever stop by Oahu again please come and visit us. Can’t wait to see your other book go into production! Thank you.

Faces Studio and Salon
What a great way to promote both my book and her talents. You can bet I will have the photo for my next book taken at Faces Studio and Salon. They are superior people.
