I fully understand I'm not choosing the arts for money, but aside from that notion or realization… it seems like there is no information out there. No information about what is 'reasonable' to spend for submissions or marketing. No information about what an average return is whether it comes to acceptances/rejections or to royalties. It's really hard to be passionate about something and still walk in blind simply because no one talks about it.

That being said, that's one of the things I still love about your PR book. I swear it's one of the first things I've ever seen for poets (at any stage) that actually offers some guidance. Once again, THANK YOU.
