If you’re an up and coming writer and want to learn how to successfully publicize your work, Poets & Writers’ Get The Word Out might just be the program for you!
Poets & Writers created Get The Word Out as a publicity incubator for new and upcoming authors who are guided under the mentorship of an accomplished book publicist. writers will develop and execute publicity strategies to maximize the exposure of their first or second book, reach readers, and create a platform to propel their literary careers.
A program like Get The Word Out is truly beneficial to small presses because it gives new authors a more hands on approach when it comes to the publicity of their work. This type of approach influences creative and unique collaborations with early career authors and small presses that can lead to new publicity strategies becoming permanent fixtures within the small press. This program has already given one of Stillhous Press’s new authors, Miranda Schmidt, a great platform to push her new debut novel, Leafskin. Miranda is a 2025 Get The Word Out Fiction Fellow. To find out more details on how to join Get The Word Out and become a fellow, check out Get Out The Word.
To celebrate their 2025 Fiction Fellows, Yu-Mei Balasingamchow, Roohi Choudhry, Kerry Donoghue, Lacey N. Dunham, Shasta Grant, Laura Venita Green, Benedict Nguyễn, Miranda Schmidt, and Daniel Tam-Claiborne, Get The Word Out is hosting a free online Fiction Cohort Reading on April 2, 2025 at 7pm.
