How can I start publishing my poems as a college student?

Question

I have a bunch of poems with good feedback on them. How and where can I start publishing for the first time. There is not much scope of traditional method of publishing in my place.

Answer 1

You can try and sell them to magazines that publish poetry. Sites like Doutrope and diabolical plots can provide with a list of online publications and magazines that are open for submissions.

Or you can look for representation by searching the web for literary agents that represent poets. One site is poets & writers. If they sign you, they’ll shop your poems around to publishers. Agents don’t charge for their services. They make money by selling your work. Watch out for fakes that tell you that you are the next Robert Frost and they fan publish for a measly $500.00.

Or you can go to a site like kdp on amazon and self publish your poems in an ebook that people can purchase off of amazon or use print on demand and get a physical copy.

Or you can post them online on sites like reddit and scribophile if you just want to share with a a larger audience.
