• No complicated publishing software.
• No formatting headaches.
• No graphic design experience required.

Just your poetry, beautifully published.

Built Specifically for PoetrySoup Poets

Unlike generic word processors or publishing software, the PoetrySoup Publishing Center understands poetry.

Your poems already live on PoetrySoup. Instead of copying and pasting hundreds of poems into another program, simply select your poems that are already on PoetrySoup that you want to include and begin building your collection.

The Publishing Center preserves your poetry while helping you produce a professional-quality book suitable for worldwide distribution.
