The Trail of Proof-A Survival Workbook for Writers Who Want to Get Published

£12.00

Stop guessing why your poems get rejected. Start building your trail of proof.

Rejections don’t mean you’re a bad writer. They mean you’re missing the map. The Trail of Proof is that map — a step-by-step workbook that teaches you exactly how to:

  • Spot and cut clichés that make editors stop reading.

  • Stress-test your poem line by line so every part earns its place.

  • Decode what journals are really looking for (and how to fit without selling out).

  • Build a submission rhythm that doesn’t burn you out.

  • Turn rejections into data — not shame.

  • Handle acceptances without downplaying or panicking.

  • Play the long game without giving up.

This isn’t theory. It’s practical drills, messy demos, checklists, and trackers you can use today.

Why it works

  • No fluff — every section solves a real submission problem.

  • Interactive — tables, logs, and exercises keep you moving, not just nodding.

  • Messy-proof — half-filled scribbles count. Perfection is banned.

  • Psychology-backed — built around resilience, habit-building, and real editorial insight.

Who it’s for

  • Writers tired of sending poems into the void.

  • Emerging voices who want to land their first publication.

  • Neurodivergent or overlooked writers who feel the system isn’t built for them.

  • Anyone who’s thought: “Maybe I’m hopeless” — you’re not. You just need the right tools.
