I love this, thank you. Here’s another questions, how does one find an agent that they admire in preparation to query them?

Great question! There are tools, articles, databases online; however, I googled who my favourite poets agents were and went from there!

I have written and published 18 books of poetry the latest titled Once In A Blue Moon: 125 poems. They are all available on Amazon. Sadly, I’ve only sold one book of the latest title, but I’m hoping that with some help I can get my poetry books into the hands of those who want to read it.

These questions are intriguing. 🤔 I was comparing notes the entire time. Totally different experiences, and I feel like the questions are pretty open ended. Nice to learn a bit from your perspective though, Maria!
