Many poets now are able to generate an income through their art form, whether that be via readings, workshops, book sales or a combination of all three. However, in an increasingly crowded modern discipline it’s important to understand how to present your work effectively either on stage or on the page, giving your poetry the edge it needs to be published and recognised on the thriving live circuit.

By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a small portfolio of poems for possible publication, gained an insight into the modern poetry world of publishing and performance and received a one-to-one consultation with an industry professional.

No experience of writing or performing poetry is necessary. Complete beginners and much more experienced writers will be welcomed onto this exciting and explorative course.

Dates: Thursdays, 25 January 2018 – 29 March 2018, 6 - 8:30 pm (ten weeks)
