Launching a First Poetry Book, with Orna Ross and Lauren Lott Self-Publishing Poetry Podcast
Joining Orna Ross in this month's #AskALLi Self-Publishing Poetry Salon is indie poet Lauren Lott who will outline the steps she took to launch her first poetry collection, The Remains of Burning. \u201cChoosing between wounds and scars\u201d is how she describes sorting out which poems would go into her collection.
- What went well?
- What will she do differently next time?
- What lessons can other indie poets take from her experience?
Lauren lives in Lake Macquarie, on the East Coast of Australia and is currently working on her second collection to be released in 2021.
Tune in for discussions on a different theme each month with a focus on developing prosperity for poets through community building and self-publishing.
