And for your book, feel free to reach out, not sure I can be of help, but talking about it always helps to organise your thinking. My first thought would be to tell you to look at your submission guidelines. There is some vision there.
I'm not an expert at sonnet writing, and the American sonnet is a new concept to me. Understanding what that means, helps in understanding your poems. So, thanks for that lesson. Still, I might consider submitting. Just for the fun of it. And because this American Sonnet thing is worth exploring.
I hope you will! The form is very relaxed in the American style, more focused on rhythms and the music of the line, than end-rhyme structure.
As for a book collection, I'm likely not going to be focusing on that for many years, and I'm okay with that. This series is that project, in any case!
And please share with anyone you know interested in this style. I'm more hesitant toward strict-form sonnets, but will always read them!
Congrats on hitting a year of publishing here.

Congratulations on hitting the one-year milestone, glad to see others still writing poetry!
