Hi Penny and Amy, I'm Mary Keating, the author of "Recalibrating Gravity" a memoir in verse. I listened to your podcast about how to sell on Reddit, a platform new to me.

Who knows if this will translate into sales, but it's getting my name out there on a different platform. I also found some great poetry sites.
