Panel Discussion: Pitching and Selling Poetry to Traditional Publishers (Philadelphia, PA)

If you’re a poet who dreams of getting published, don’t miss this panel at H&H Books.

You often hear the adage “poetry doesn’t sell” from industry professionals, when the reality is quite the opposite. Whether we’re talking about major publishing houses, celebrated indie presses, or academic trade, poetry sells just fine, thank you.

In this discussion, literary agent Eric Smith will join three acclaimed poets—Artress Bethany White (A Black Doe in the Anthropocene), Ali Trotta (Offerings for Ordinary Gods), and Cordelia Jensen (Lilac and the Switchback)—to talk about how to sell your collection. What do agents look for? Publishers? How do you FIND the right place? Come for the talk, ask a lot of questions, and buy some poetry while you’re here!
