Shadows Ink Publications now offers a quick and easy step by step manual to becoming a published chapbook author with Shadow Poetry. This guide is free to all poets; however, we ask for any international poets interested in the guide to pay for shipping. (Shipping donations from anyone are appreciated and welcomed!) This manual is designed to allow interested authors a chance to experience what our chapbooks look and feel like as well as being a comprehensive and detailed guide into chapbook publishing. The guide goes into more detail than the chapbook section on this web site, and is handy anytime when the internet is not. Chapbook agreement and order forms will also be mailed with the guide.

Features of the guide include: Format, Introduction Pages, Cover Fonts, Text Fonts, Page Headers, Cover Design, Cover Paper, Interior Paper, Color Inserts, How to Prepare Your Manuscript, What Shadow Poetry Won't Publish, Online Bookstore, ISBN vs. Item Number, Marketing & Promotion, Prices & Fees, Copyright Package, How to Place an Order, Royalties, and more!

To request/order your free guide, please fill out the form below in its entirety. We will confirm all requests via email, and upon the confirmation response, the guide will be shipped. International authors, please use PayPal to send the shipping fee electronically or send mail requests to us with $5.00 US cash or International Money Order in US dollars.

International Shipping fee for the publication guide ($5.00).
