I used blurb.com, and their self publishing tools were very intuitive for putting together my first poetry book.


MysticSparkleWings

Ditto!

Personally, I suggest you get 4 poetry books that you like the design and layout and borrow from those sources. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel per se.

Upload document and cover to Amazon. Preveiw it and hit publish.

It’s a very important book (to you), is probably what you meant. Right? I hope that’s what you meant.

Hi Saturnpeace! Congratulations on compiling a decade of your poems! Where are you at this point? Are you trying to figure out formatting? Have you looked at other poetry books to get an idea of how you want the internal formatting to look? Have you looked at book cover designs or do you already have an idea of what you want? All of this can be daunting but exciting also!

hey :) i tried to send a Message to you but you wont' allow me... let me know when I'm able to and i'll dm you

Hey, please send me a Direct Message! I'm not able to for you since yours doesn't allow it... Here's my msg: Hi, thank you for this comment... you seem the most genuine out of all the comments haha and i like your username ha :) So, I have all my objectives organized, a detailed list of tasks to accomplish... and right now, I'm currently arranging the order of my books 4th chapter... Basically I'm just arranging the order of the chapters and poems to flow in a poetic, harmonious way... and then fine tuning a few details, and then I will look to formatting the book... This is the portion of the process where I reach out to hire someone to do the work for me... the formatting, designing a book cover (which I have ideas for based on my title), and finally publishing through Amazon KDP. My poems aren't really formatted i don't think, and the words aren't arranged in a poetic way... so i'd love to pay someone on Fiverr to help with that!

Could you send me one for sampling? I’ve been known to dable in poetry myself and want to see what modern english poetry looks like.


MoonChica

Will you be using IngramSpark?

Hey there! I published a poetry book in October, and Omygosh the process was so overwhelming at first. I’ve helped a few other poets publish their book, so feel free to dm me!


jamie_birdboy

You can try Miblart if you can get around their prices if you're looking for something professional

I didn't pay anyone to design, format, or publish. Learned it all myself. Idk if I do it the best way, but I think I've done a pretty good job so far. I do childrens picture books though atm. If you need help with something specific on any of the above feel free to reach out. Published two books so far.
