Verse For a Purse

Hey, I’m up for it, Kathryn! There will be a scale of fees: $25 for a

Clerihew, $100 for a Sonnet (though I may add a premium if you want your

sonnet Petrarchan — they are slightly trickier), all the way up to $1,000

for a sestina. (Sample sestina here–do a find on

“derb”.) I will also do epic in heroic couplets: $10 per couplet, up to a

maximum 10,000 lines. Accepting reservations.
