Paid Reading Service

Editor Helena Nelson sometimes offers a paid reading/editing service to poets. This is not a route into HappenStance publication. If interested, enquire via the contact box.

Alternatively, get hold of a copy of How (Not) to Get Your Poetry Published, which could save you a lot of pain, at the same time as sharing many of the unwritten rules of the whole frustrating (and yet delightful) business.
