  As a proofreader, I've noticed that the files that come through best on 
poetry are when the scanner has made sure that every single line ends with a 
paragraph mark, which is very different from the settings you want for a 
regular book. Otherwise the poetry gets mushed together into one long line.

  Also, just put one star between the stanzas. smile.

    Hi you all, it has been a while since I attempted poetry..

    I have three books of Poetry I want to try to submit for Bookshare.

    What tips and techniques do you all recommend to get these into presentable 
shape?

    I know some put stars between the stanzas, and to allow short line endings 
while scanning.  What else do I need to know and remember?

    Thanks everyone.
