Haiku Traditions

Available Now
Haiku Traditions

I am thrilled to announce that today, I am officially a published author. My first book, Haiku Traditions, is now available in paperback and ebook as of August 1. This has been a significant goal on my bucket list for over forty years, returning to my high school creative writing class days.

My goal has been to write the book and produce it. I wanted to familiarize myself with all facets—writing, editing, formatting, design, copyrighting, licensing, incorporating, marketing and distribution. I’ve invested some money and many months of work, but I enjoyed every step of the journey and added much to my skillset. I’m happy with the finished product.

I did my homework before diving into the work. I bought many poetry books, studied design and content, and paid attention to what I liked and didn’t like about each book.

I produced Haiku Traditions using the amazing Adobe InDesign, the king of publishing programs, and Atticus for the ebook version. I can confidently say that my book’s content and design are on par with any other paperback out there. I don’t know of another book with haiku, senryu, tanka and haibun under one cover.

While producing the book was my goal, selling it is the icing on the cake, so I do hope it does well. I am utilizing three distribution channels supplying dozens of online and brick-and-mortar retailers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, etc.) in more than 30 countries. Seeing my book popping up on retail sites in Europe, Asia, South America, India, Australia, and even China is a bit surreal.
