Among these, some are slated for review but ALL of them will be read before the end of the year. Ambitious? Yes! Possible? Of course! So many publishers and authors are kind enough to send me their books, some of which I end up teaching, all of them which I enjoy. There are countless stories out there, and even more books I haven't read or heard of yet. I'm fascinated by the ways we choose to t...

Some practical advice I heard many moons ago was that there will be rooms where your name is uttered that you'll never be aware of. And this is ok! This is a reminder that if you are doing the work (what YOU deem is the work) and reaching people, that what you create will nurture a future opportunity, whether it comes in the form of a new person discovering you or an invitation to read elsewher...

This reading took place on (3/21/24) during the SOMOS Festival out of Rutgers-Newark. I love a good performance, but it's always special when I get to read at my alma mater, especially among colleagues, childhood friends, community members, and several high schools in the area. This poem, 3rd Generation is a bit of a throwback from my first collection, Every First & Fifteenth by Digging Press (...

Chimera, unicorns, and totems, oh my! Bestiary is a collection I wish I had read while studying up on different ways to write animal poems. The allegorical framework of existed myths and tales to contextualize the contemporary thoughts on the human condition/processes make this book a necessary read especially for early-career writers. 🦄🦁🦂 📘 Purchase this book here: www.amazon.com/shop/dimitrir...

Similar to dr seuss or eric carle. But im a very anxious person. And i don’t want anyone to know who i am. I don’t have any social media for this reason. Can i be an anonymous children’s book author and Illustrator but still keep my privacy?

      Hello! The short answer is yes, but the caveat is that community really drives the arts. If you are self publishing a book, you CAN rely on the algorithm gods to push your book, but my main concern with anonymity is getting others to read your work. Without social media or a front-facing identity where the author would make visits and plan readings, the anonymous author would have to get a bit more savvy on how to engage with an audience. Hope this helps!

      I kind of sped into a different direction in my first reply-- to answer your question in a different way, you'll HAVE to pick some sort of pen name, whether it's Brenda Mayfly or Kombucha Sunshine or Shark97281 to appear as your author name. In order to publish the book though, the company, such as Amazon KDP will need your background info, credit card number, address, etc for tax and payment purposes. This won't be used publicly, though I'm not sure whether or not a very tech savvy researcher can find this out

      Hola Emma! Felicidades on the publishing of your book! 🥳 Usually, it's a good idea to take some time between publishing books, as you want to give people time to purchase and spend time with each one. Sometimes, authors publish multiple books at the same time, and one can suffer in sales over the other. I think you should concentrate on letting people know about the book and having others share the link in order to get more people interested.

    • @DimitriReyesPoet
      @DimitriReyesPoet Місяць тому

      You have to copy and paste all of your poems in one document. The very first page of your book should be your title page, followed by your copyright page, then the table of contents. The next page is either a dedication page or a note from the author (this is optional). After this point it's poem1, 2, 3, etc. KDP apparently is asking for 76 pages but that's 76 pages total and not 76 one page poems. Hopefully this helps you.

I am always flying high my speedometer goes everywhere so don't send me on a crash course. I will prove you wrong for my love you got the smile that sends me flying. Don't you climb to the heights that you bring. Hope there is no rain today. Cuz I couldn't take it if you went away. But if you go just know my my injection seat is always there every time that you hurt me dear.
