8. Supporting the presses and publications you admire
It is very important that, as a poet, you constantly invest in the purchasing of literary publications for two reasons:
1) You should be familiar with the publication that you submit to and make it clear in you cover letter that you are familiar with them
2) The poetry community is one of give and take. We are responsible for supporting each other. Being a poet is a labor of love and not a money-making profession. We should always plan to invest and learn from and support other publications.
