Cover Letters & Bios for Poets

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what to include in a cover letter or how to write a short bio when submitting your poetry, you’re not alone! I get this question all the time from writers—especially those sending their work out for the very first time.

That’s why I created my newest Creativity Helper: Cover Letters & Bios for Poets. It’s a quick, no-fuss guide with ready-to-use templates for writers both with and without previous publications. You’ll also find simple tips on:

• How to personalize your letter for each journal.

• What to include (and what to skip!) in your bio.

• How to handle simultaneous submissions like a pro.

Whether you’re brand new to submitting or a seasoned poet refreshing your materials, this resource will give you a solid starting point, so you can spend less time worrying about the “extras” and more time focusing on your craft.

I can’t wait to hear where your words find a home next!
