Hi there, I am interested to know if anyone here has had any poetry published, and how they went about doing it?

I've had a few poems published, though not for pay. I did it through my college's annual arts magazine. They allowed you to submit up to six pieces (prose, poetry or visual art). I usually submitted 4 poems, and got 2 published each time.
If you're in college, I'd suggest starting there. My friend has gotten several poems published in a poetry zine she subscribes to, so you could also look around for those. We've both also made our own small books of poems and given them to people who were interested.
Good luck!

I have had a couple of poems published in a local newspaper. I just emailed them and asked if they accepted freelance work and they said yes, so I sent the poems and they published them! They didn't pay though, but at least they were published!
