Quote by Matthew Zapruder

“I think, secretly, that my poems actually do rhyme. It’s just that the rhyme is what I would call ‘conceptual,’ that is, not made of sounds, but of ideas that accomplish what the sounds do in formal poetry: to connect elements that one wouldn’t have expected, and to make the reader or listener, even if just for a moment, feel the complexity and disorder of life, and at the same time what Wallace Stevens called the ‘obscurity of an order, a whole.”

“Working alone definitely has its advantages. There was no need for second-guessing decisions or discussions on how to work more efficiently. When you’re alone, you have complete control over the project, tackling it the way you think best without worrying about compromising with others. I could fully immerse myself in the task without worrying about others interfering with my creative process. I could work at my own pace, set deadlines, and put one hundred percent of my effort into every detail.”

“With so many authors out there buying fake or hype reviews, consider clicking on that review, to see if the reviewer is being genuine. Check to see if they are saying the same wonderful things about every book, or, for that matter, every product they review. Review the review to see if it is true.”

“The Library of Congress is owed two copies of your book. U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 407) requires every published book to deposit two physical copies of the best edition at the Library of Congress within three months of publication. Most indie authors do not realize the obligation exists. The requirement sits in the statute regardless of whether anyone chases it. How to comply: send two copies of the best edition. If the book is published in both paperback and hardcover, the Library is entitled to two hardcover copies; paperback-only releases satisfy the deposit with two paperbacks. Copyright registration and the mandatory deposit are separate actions, and completing both is the cleanest path. Mail copies to: U.S. Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington DC, with the LCCN or PCN application if applicable.”
