Dynamo Mentoring Scheme
Deadline: Mon 17 Apr 2017
Are you a BAME, Disabled or Deaf, Low-income or LGBTQI+ Poet who lives, works or studies in the West Midlands region?

Would you like to get feedback on your poems, and get advice on the next steps with your writing and guidance on publishing and getting your poetry out there? Then the Dynamo mentoring scheme is for you.

Nine Arches Press, with Writing West Midlands, are offering ten free mentoring sessions to poets from marginalised and under-represented communities. Successful applicants will receive one two-hour mentoring session in Birmingham with Jane Commane, editor at Nine Arches Press.

Dynamo is open to applications from Tuesday 14th March until Monday 17th April 2017. All successful applicants will be notified by 28th April 2017. Mentoring will take place in summer.

Applicants should currently be living, studying or working in the West Midlands region, defined as Birmingham, West Midlands conurbation, (which includes the city of Wolverhampton and large towns of Dudley, Solihull, Walsall and West Bromwich) and the cities of Coventry and Stoke on Trent, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire.

The Dynamo mentoring session will involve an editorial assessment of up to six poems, plus discussion about routes open to new and emerging poets, advice on publishing and a chance to discuss next steps in creative development of poetry and building a track-record of publication and profile.
