How To Independently Publish Your Poetry - Downloadable PDF

Whether you’re thinking of selling a collection of your poetry online or simply want to publish your words for yourself or for family and friends, the good news is that there are some really simple ways to bring your book to life.

This guide will tell the story of how I have independently published two of my own poetry books (Covered In Gold Confetti and Even After Everything) and will take you through the steps of how you can do it too.

Downloadable PDF, available immediately.

Covered In Gold Confetti

My first poetry book Covered In Gold Confetti is a collection of sixty poems. A personal, heartfelt expression of love and grief that was written in the aftermath of losing my beloved nephew. I found myself writing down fragments of feelings that started with grief and became about all sorts of emotions; love, therapy, nature, healing and connection.

You can read some sample poems from the collection below.

The book is available from independent bookstore Lulu and Amazon.

Even After Everything

My second poetry book Even After Everything is a continuing exploration of love and grief. What happens after the initial shock of losing someone you love? How does love find its place in grief? And how do you shape around what has happened in your life?

As I wrote about my feelings, I also found myself exploring aging, wanderlust and creativity. Poetry has become a way I try to make sense of life. I hope that some of the words will resonate with you and I hope that they encourage you to write your own poems too.

You can read some sample poems from my books below.
