For a year or so I have been thinking of writing a book on writing poetry, getting your work out there, and other writing things.

Call for submissions:
Send me the questions you have about writing, publishing, and anything else in this same arena. Even if you are an accomplished writer I would like to hear from you on what should be included in such a book. If I use the question/topic, and it gets published, you will be part of the book. Send your submissions to ivylpage@gmail.com with the subject line “Writing 101.” Please include your contact information.
