Workshops

The Poetry Business Writing Days take place every month in Sheffield and Manchester. Our Writing Days are led by Ann and Peter Sansom, described by Peter Carpenter as ‘the gold standard of poetry teaching’. Our Writing Days have a friendly, supportive, critically-engaged atmosphere and are open to all.
