So, one of my friends has drafted a collection of poems that he's written over the past few years (about a couple hundred) and is considering getting it published.
Profit may not be one of his primary motives here but, it is understood that to the publishers it will be, since they can't just operate on loss.
The question is, since poetry doesn't sell as much as novels and all, what do publishers, in general, look for in a poetry collection that makes them consider it for publishing? Also, are there any other not-so-expensive ways to get a poetry collection published without having to compromise on the content?
Any helpful ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
