Writerly advice

According to Michael Martine, Montpelier-based web-design guy, these are:
1) Start a blog around your book.
2) Send copies to a few bloggers who you think are a good match for the topic.
Good suggestions. And here's another: zine writers, poets, and guerilla publishers — start your own blogs! When I was a street corner poet (not all that long ago), I used to print out copies of my poems and hand them to anyone who would take them (passers-by, tollbooth operators, etc.). Now it's remarkably easy to put them online for free. I don't understand why more people don't take advantage of this option. Sure, there's the stigma of self-publishing, but there's also the promise of an actual audience.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
