The Friends of The Poetry Business scheme helps us to continue to our ambitious and dynamic publishing programme and writer development work.
Becoming a Friend will help us to publish more titles, publish ‘riskier’ collections, nurture new writers, support established writers, explore the potential for poetry in multimedia formats, set up new projects, host events, provide subsidised places on residentials and workshops for low-income writers, and stay afloat for another year.
As a Friend of the Poetry Business you’ll receive some fantastic benefits and gifts as a ‘thank you’ for your generous support.
