Ever wondered about chapbooks
Video from Blackheath books. Fairly labour intensive. Maybe I'll start up my own chapbook press and use the photocopier from someone's work (not mine. I'[m and a unemployed still)
(weak) poem (more of a short fiction piece) by one of their poets Ben Myers.

you need a printer and a stapler and a few poems. takes a day to get the layout sorted ( for an amateur like me) and another day to stick them together. should cost you a euro each, can sell them for a fiver. shouldn't be too hard to sell a hundred over a couple of months at readings and to your mates. and then you get feedback too. all in all very much worthwhile, I found.

That's really interesting Dave. I often have people asking to buy my poems. Would you be open to doing a (short) guest blog post with a few more details? How you did it? The costs? Packaging? What happened when you got a collection together with a 'real' publisher?
You can email me (see sidebar)
