I will be submitting my book of poetry to a publisher soon, but I am still not sure on how the manuscript should be put together. They want, between 300 to 500 word synopsis and an author bio included.
Does this apply to poetry works?
They also want a complete copy of the manuscript sent as an attachment in an email.

What should I include in my Bio since I have only been published in Anthologies that were, basicly, rip offs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Oh dear another poetry.com victim?  I hope you didn’t pay too much!

You probably need to post this query in the Q and A forum, but here is a good link for you:

I am moving this thread to Q&A where it should get better response. This forum is for poetry rather than announcements or unrelated questions.

Thanks,
Pete

Thank you for moving my post for me. I did not see the Q and A forum. I guess I need glasses. LOL
