It's the most productive thing I've ever done. Surrounding yourself with likeminded people is incredibly satisfying, not just because you learn that even successfully published authors have the same generic rejection letters as you but because you gain knowledge of funding, agents, and calls for submission from people at various levels of their career. Membership of NWS brought me into contact with some terrific people and gave me the opportunity to present my poetry in public. I also learned much valuable info about the publishing world. |
