So I've started my (presumably first of many) query letter for my Glosa manuscript.
It's only 52 poems.
But that's still 11,200 or so words, so actually dandy for a poetry manuscript.
I know which poems my opening and closing pieces will be, and everything else is split into seven sections (though I may not actually mark them as such).
The publisher I'm querying is not a Poetry press. It's a Queer press that has put out a few (like maybe four) poetry books, but mostly sticks to fiction and CNF. I figure, given the nature of the project, it fits with their mandate enough that they might give it a go.
I've re-titled a bunch of the poems - mostly the ones that had obvious astrological or tarot-related titles - though given that this press's first publication was literally a tarot-interpretation book, that may not be helpful in this instance. Still, I feel better about it, so I'm going with it.
