One of the things I learnt in 2022 was to upload my 2 poetry collection to KDP. This acronym is called Kindle Direct Publishing. They also have a program where the reader can enjoy up to 2,000 books at any one time (last time I looked) for a minimum fee of $13.99 per month (Australia). If you're a voracious reader and have a kindle or ipad this is an extremely good deal. Most books usually cost between $20 to $25 (AU), so this works out to a fraction of the cost.

I know that poetry lovers like writing poetry, reading poetry, using poetry at sensitive times like at weddings and funerals, but not many "BUY" poetry. I think they are missing out, as authors have spent a long time studying poetry, gone to great pains to increase their word knowledge and have learnt how to condense languare into minute story parts. They say it's one of the hardest genres to write, and it is time consuming with little reward. One of the reasons why I moved over to writing novels.

So now any readers out there, if you're engaged in the Kindle Unlimited program, my 2 poetry books are ebooks and are available for $0.00 in the program - for three months commencing on 1/1/2023.

I would love to see some sales. 70% @ $2.99 equates to approx. $2.10 (AU) in royalties. AND I won't be laughing all the way to the bank. :)
