I know how tough it is to find a publisher, I've been looking for one for a few years. I write christian poetry, mainly love, and scripture based, and some fictional. Can you please let me know if you find a publisher? There are not many looking for poets. Thank you. By the way visit poetry.com and get some of your poetry published in anthologies, they don't pay you, but they copyright your work and you retain the rights, it's free.
In Christ,
