If you’re a poet—or hope to be someday—I wanted to let you know about a new series we’ve just launched at Old Scratch Press.

Making the Most of One Poem explores what happens after a poem is published. An acceptance is exciting, but it’s rarely the end of the journey. A single poem can lead to readings, contests, anthologies, new readers, and opportunities you may never have considered.

The series is designed to help poets think beyond publication and discover practical ways to extend the life of their work. Whether you’ve published one poem or one hundred, I hope you’ll find ideas you can put to use.

The first installment is now available, and I’d love for you to follow along.

Happy reading!
