The Market Place – Christina L. Johnson
Hello everyone and welcome to THE MARKETPLACE! This column is a regularly appearing feature for Author Network.
As you journey down the bumpy, but very gratifying road of publication, it is my hope as markets columnist that you will find my series of articles to be useful, for I will be listing in each column, places where you can sell your poetry.
