&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creating a collection of your short work, whether fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, can be a good publishing strategy when you have many works in your portfolio. Professor and author Donna Arthur Downs has a large portfolio of personal essays and poetry, and has found success when finding common themes or topics and submitting her work as chapbooks or collections. She recommends writers research the publishing opportunities that are out there for collections. You can find publishers looking for submissions, and you can also publish on your own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Downs says finding a common thread or theme when putting a chapbook of poetry together is necessary to make the collection feel cohesive. You can look at what&amp;#39;s trending in the industry as far as themes, but you will need to be prepared to publish quickly if writing to trend, because things evolve quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
