NEXT EVENT…
Women Poets’ Webinar & Workshop: Get Visible
Thursday 14 November, 7-9pm
Book here
Our next webinar is all about getting noticed as a poet – both online and offline!
Part of the By Poets, For Poets programme, this event is designed to support poets at all stages of their journey to build visibility and confidence in the literary world.
Join our panel of poets and industry experts as they discuss overcoming the cringe of self-promotion, understanding publisher expectations, and share practical tips to get you thinking about your own visibility. After the panel, stay with us for a short workshop to create your own action plan for getting visible!
This event will have BSL interpretation and live subtitles. And if you can’t make it on the night, the webinar will be recorded and available to ticket holders for a limited time.
Tickets: Pay What You Decide £8/£10/£12
or Free to Women Poets’ Network Members
