Ideas for local and Internet promotion of SFPA and genre poetry*

  • Add an SFPA banner and link to our site on your web page or e-mail signature.
  • Encourage writers and readers of poetry to subscribe to our Yahoo! mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sfpanet/
  • Buy gift SFPA memberships or gift copies of the Rhysling Anthology and Science Fiction Poetry Handbook.
  • Attend and participate in local poetry readings and bring copies of SFPA fliers for attendees to take with them.
  • Suggest that your local or regional Con include poetry panels and readings in its programming. Volunteer to moderate a genre poetry round robin.
  • Bring SFPA fliers to Cons to distribute and to place on the free promotional items table.
  • When people ask where they can submit their poetry, refer them to the SFPA "Links" page, which lists both paying and nonpaying markets.
*If you have ideas for promoting SFPA that you would like included on this page, feel free to contact the SFPA Coder or another member of the Web Committee.

 

With grateful acknowledgments to Mike Allen, Gene van Troyer, Aleta Daknis, and Tim Mullins for their assistance in the creation of the promotional materials.
