Being the fact that I am a early year baby boomer, (1947) I decided that I was never going to get published the first time without doing something drastic. I wrote a small non fiction book and had it published thru First Books which is a Print on Demand. I know there are a lot of negatives about this but 1. You get your book listed as a book in print and you get a Library of Congress number so hopefully my local library will carry it in their local authors section. I don't expect to do that good. I will promote the book on my website and local TV. But now hopefully a agent won't tell me that you have never had anything published. (I won't bet on that) (the lady who wrote "Legally Blone" first published her book as a POD.) I don't know if you have a whole book with your poetry but I know that Iuniverse will publish for as low as $150. I went another route but saved enough for Poser5 (I hope) At my age, it might be the only chance I get to see a book of mine in print which has been a dream for as long as I can remember. Bill
