Hello, I am new to this forum. I am only 14 years of age but I have already had four of my poems published in the "Young Writers" books. Look out for the name "Natasha Austin". My first poem published is in the anniversary edition. I have also had a poem published in the Spectator, in the obituaries. It is entitled "Hugh" and was written for the death of my uncle.

Welcome to the forum! that is brilliant that you have your poems already published. post couple on the forum, it would be interesting to read them.
I am currently working on self-publishing my first collection of poetry.

That's brilliant, I'm 21 and I still haven't the courage to submit my poems to publishers.

Beware of vanity publishing!!!! Young Writers Books are owned by Forward Press.

Is it vanity press though? How many people read the so called respected magazines? If someone thinks your work is good enough to appear in print then good on you!

Yeah, I got suckered by Forward Press when I started out- the simple rule is, you shouldn't have to pay to see your work in print.
