What are some very clever ways to get your speculative poetry book noticed and reviewed? My spec-po title, inspired by Poe, is " Route Obscure and Lonely" (Wapshott Press, 2020).
Colleen Anderson One way is to join the SF and Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA). Not only are there contest and two magazines (Eye to the Telescope and Starline), but there is an active group on Facebook as well as a private list where we discuss and post our accomplishments. Members have a lot of experience and Starline lists publications. While an outright review isn't part of Starline's venue or the SFPA, it's a good place to ask for info. And it is a way to get your name known more and have your work considered for one of the awards SFPA sponsors.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Colleen Anderson Write and read, write and read, and never give up. Persevere. Send out your work. Join workshops and critique groups and study what you're reading. Eventually you'll start to absorb it. I found, when I was starting out, that taking a copyediting course (and I became an editor) helped my grammar as well.
