POPCORN PRESS

Currently closed to submissions.

Launched in 1999, Popcorn Press has been my venue for experimental publishing.
It has published off-brand works by established authors, poetry collections I
admire, and fiction and poetry by first-time authors.

In that last capacity, it has introduced those new writers to the publication
process: submitting works, communicating with editors, accepting critique,
revising, and understanding copyright.

You’ll find Popcorn Press’s publications listed under the “Shop > Books” section
of the menu above.

Although the business is currently closed to submissions, I still love seeing
new writers be published!

Toward that end, I recommend reading the following:

 * Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft,
 * Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing,
 * Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook,
 * Kim Addonizio & Dorianne Laux’s The Poet’s Companion, and
 * Michael J. Bugeja’s Poet’s Guide—for advice on performing, getting published,
   and self-publishing. (The book that launched Popcorn Press!)

As a head start, may I suggest the free essay “The GUP Method for Creative
Writing” on this website?
