 Chapbooks

 



 

 

           J. Graham Publishing's encourage writers not only to showcase their literary talent with their Chapbook, but also to promote themselves through some of the examples listed below:
"Some helpful tips on how you can promote your chapbooks"

         We also encourage those that do not have a website, to at least have a webpage for their
Chapbook(s) in order for publicity & promotion. If you are going to promote yourself, it would

be beneficial to have a page with your bio, a couple of photos, contact info, order info
and an email address. 

With the services of Stellar Showcase Website Design & Creation you can be visible online.
