Four good reasons to advertise in American Poet:

1. Big Numbers: The Academy of American Poets has the largest membership of any poetry organization in the country, and all of our 8,500 members receive subscriptions to American Poet.
   
   
2. Targeted Market: American Poet has an extremely targeted market: in one group you can reach poetry readers, some of the most renowned and respected poets of our time, and some of the nation’s most generous patrons of poetry.
   
   
3. Major Poetry Buying Power: Look at the reader profiles below to see how many books and literary magazines our readers purchase, how many teach either literature or creative writing, and how many of them attend literary conferences
   
   
4. High Receptivity: American Poet sets a limit on the number of ad pages available in each issue. With only twenty percent of a typical issue available to advertisers, American Poet never suffers from commercial congestion. We feel strongly that our advertisers benefit from this policy, in that it produces a significantly higher receptivity in our readers to the few ads they see.
