As part of our Anti-Hate Anthology we are proud to present three events aimed at supporting poets, particularly spoken word artists, in presenting their work on the page.

The first two events are workshops, led by SWL hosts Hannah Gordon and Patrick Cash, which will take place on the 25th of November and the 1st of December respectively. Both workshops will offer opportunities to share work and get feedback, some exercises to help you edit your work and information about the anthology and themes. These workshops are aimed at those wishing to submit to the anthology, but they are open to anyone interested in editing their work, and free to attend.

“What editors want: How to present and submit poetry for publication”

During the talk, Amy will discuss what to think about when submitting work, give advice and tips for presenting work, particularly spoken word, on the page and there will be some time for audience questions.  This event has been organised as part of our Anti-Hate anthology project, but it is open to anyone with an interest in presenting their poetry for publication and completely free to attend.
