I do downplay my chapbook with my students since they are young (8-11 yrs old), but I did let the classroom teachers know about it. But my fellow poetry instructors, my boss, my copywriting contacts, and former employers/colleagues that know me were all kept in the loop. Unless there is something you really don't want a coworker to know, then sure, you can keep it private. However, Once something is in print it's out there, particularly online. Have you had problems with this before. One of my poems published online caused some problems in my personal life, but it has since smoothed over. <br /><br /><br />I know a writer who literally told every person she's known - back to high school even! Her hair stylist. Neighbors. She's have a big party too. But each of us have to decide where to draw the line for ourselves.Laura E.

Do you promote at work, or just outside of it?Jenny Rossinoreply@blogger.com
