Publishing The Haunted Poetry Workshop: JabMed Media’s First Book

The Haunted Poetry Workshop is the first book published by JabMed Media. It is Book 1 of Poetry Adventure Workshop, written by Joseph Jablonski. The paperback is 106 pages, for ages 8–12 and grades 3–6, and it is for sale on Amazon at $12.99.

This note is the publishing record. The book page is where a buyer can see the cover, the interior, and the specs. The pages below explain why the book exists, how a stop in the mansion works, and what was checked before the paperback was listed. They are not a review, and they do not report sales.

Why JabMed Media published a book

JabMed Media is the public home for films, browser games, music, and the notes that go with them. JabMed Holdings LLC owns the fictitious name. The LLC is the owner. The book does not start a second company, and it does not turn Historic Minds into a lesson series. Watch stays the film catalog. Games stay free in the browser. The book is a new shelf on the same site.

A film can be watched. A game can be played in a tab. This workshop needed an object the reader can write in and color in. A web page can describe a poem. It cannot be the pencil-and-paper night the book is built around. Publishing was the way to make that object and put JabMed Media’s name on it as publisher, with Amazon as the store.

What Poetry Adventure Workshop is

Poetry Adventure Workshop is a series of hands-on poetry adventures. Each book is one world. Inside that world the reader meets a kind of poem, uses it, and moves to the next room. The books are meant to share a pattern, not to reprint the same poems with a new cover.

Halloween is Book 1 because a mansion can hold thirteen different forms without pretending they are one worksheet copied thirteen times. The subtitle is A Spooky Adventure in Poems, Rhymes, Writing & Coloring. The reader is the poet. The guide is Quill, a young ghost who is worse at being frightening than he means to be. A black cat comes along and does not wait to be asked.

The story is simple enough to say in a paragraph. On Halloween, a mansion at the edge of the woods is losing its language. Portraits forget their names. Tombstones go blank. Potion labels slide off the jars. Even a small word like boo can wander off. Quill needs a poet. The way through the house is to write.

Why one book does five jobs

Many poetry books for this age do one job. Some are anthologies. Some are worksheets. Some are coloring books with a rhyme on the facing page. The Haunted Poetry Workshop stacks the jobs because each one belongs to the same night.

The reader reads a finished poem first, so the form is something already heard, not a definition on its own. The next page says how that form works, in plain language, including the difference between a school convention and a looser literary variant when those are not the same rule. Then there is room to write. The prompt is the room: unlock a gate, give a portrait its voice back, repair a potion, open the attic. A puzzle or a short game uses the same words. A coloring page is that room after the writing, with lines meant to be colored. Coloring is part of the book. It is not the category.

The back of the book adds a Poetry Detective Toolkit, a midnight writing challenge, a glossary, and a Certified Haunted Poet certificate. Those pages are still the same night. They are not a second workbook bound on at the end.

Thirteen stops, thirteen forms

The map runs from the crooked front gate to the midnight tower. One stop, one form:

1. Crooked Front Gate — Acrostic
2. Whispering Woods — Haiku
3. Pumpkin Patch — Cinquain
4. Graveyard — Limerick
5. Skeleton Crypt — Couplet
6. Witch’s Kitchen — Sensory poem
7. Monster Laboratory — Diamante
8. Spider’s Staircase — Shape poem
9. Portrait Gallery — Quatrain
10. Vampire Ballroom — Ode
11. Room Beneath the Stairs — Free verse
12. Forbidden Attic — Narrative poem
13. Midnight Tower — Ballad

The tone is spooky and funny. It is not gory, and it is not written for preschool. The gate will not open until an acrostic spells the word the house is proud of. A later stop changes the job: a shape poem has to look like the staircase it climbs, a narrative poem has to tell what happened after a door opened, and a ballad has to carry the night as far as the tower. Skipping the writing skips the story. The puzzle answers stay in the book. They are not posted on this site.

Ages 8–12, and who this website is for

The paperback is for ages 8–12, about grades 3–6. A parent can give it as a Halloween book that is also a poetry lesson done with a pencil. A teacher can spend a class on one stop: read the model poem, learn the rule, write, and use the puzzle or the coloring page if time is left. A homeschool day can be a single stop. The book does not assume a poetry unit is already in progress, and it does not claim to replace a language-arts curriculum. There is no standards alignment printed here, and no downloadable teacher guide yet. If a real guide exists later, it will be a file on the book page, not a promise in a paragraph.

The site around the book is a different audience. jabmedmedia.com is the publisher and studio site. Parents, educators, and other adults use it to find the book, the films, and the games. The Haunted Poetry Workshop page does not ask a child to create an account, join a list, or leave a comment. The writing the book asks for happens on the paper.

How the paperback was produced

The edition for sale is a first paperback, 2026. The trim is 7 by 10 inches. The interior is black ink on white paper, with no bleed. The cover is a glossy full-color wrap. The page count is 106. The list price on Amazon is $12.99.

The ISBN-13 is 979-8-9984535-0-2. It belongs to the publisher. It is not a free ISBN assigned by the retailer. JabMed Media, a fictitious name (DBA) of JabMed Holdings LLC, is the publisher. Amazon is where the paperback is sold. Those are different roles, and the book page keeps them separate: the specs name the publisher, and the buy button goes to the store.

The interior and the cover were built to that print specification and reviewed as a physical proof before the paperback was offered for sale. Trim, gutter, paper color, and whether a coloring line is dark enough to use are the kinds of questions a screen file does not settle. The public page count is the print page count.

Drafts of the text and the line art began with AI tools. The published pages were edited, set into the 7-by-10 layout, and checked against the forms they teach. That is a production fact, not a rating of the book.

What comes next in the series

A later Poetry Adventure Workshop book is meant to keep the pattern and change the world. The reader still reads a poem, learns the rule, writes, plays, and colors. The season changes, and at least some of the forms change, so the series is not the same mansion reprinted.

The next title named on the Books page is The Winter Poetry Workshop, Book 2. A publication date has not been set. No other book in the series is scheduled. When a date exists, it will be printed on that book’s page.
