Looking for art for a poetry book, and CONTEST!

Fri May 8, 2009, 6:29 PM
I'm looking for art to go along with my poetry that I can present as the illustration for it. I've posted this in the forums, but I also ask this of you, if you are or know any artists that are looking for things to do I'd love to pair them with one of my poems. Please be aware that they will be published as BLACK AND WHITE inside the book, though one illustration will be chosen for the front cover and published in color. I will also send a free book to whoever I choose for the cover! See the contest news here: [link]

So publish a book of poetry! :) Check out lulu.com.. you can put together your own book as you like it, and publish it one book at a time. And if you want you can purchase the ISBN stuff and having them get it on Amazon.com, but I'm not doing that right away. I'm going to be selling them out of local bookstores and stuff just to see how it goes before I put too much money into it.

No and it depends on what size book, what type paper, etc that you use. I'm using just normal paper and an A5 size and I think it said about 12 to 15 bucks for the book, it will be around 56-60 pages. So that's not too bad. I have to upload the whole thing though to find out the price and I'm still having it edited.

As far as deciding what ones go, I had some trouble with that too. First I decided I wouldn't put all of the depressing poems in it, that I'd start out small. Then I printed them all out and put them in piles based on topics. Then I decided which piles would go. Another thing that would help is if you have a friend or friends that could read through them and help you decide which are worthy of publishing.

i'll need to look into it.
and i'll need more black toner if i'm printing those out.

Do the poem and illustration have to be together?
