Fly On The Wall Paths into Poetry online

With the help of some exciting contemporary poets, Fly On The Wall Press presents an online poetry panel: Paths into Poetry. If you’re itching to polish your writing and boost your publishing potential, this is the space for you.

Taking place on Zoom, the Manchester-based indie publishing house is hosting a line-up of five contemporary poets: Morag Anderson, Julian Bishop, Matt Broomfield, Katrina Dybzynska and Dal Kular. They will be answering questions on all-things-poetry, providing invaluable insiders’ insight and advice on everything from poetic craft and establishing, developing and polishing your own style to finding your way into and through the publishing space and how to consolidate your poetic persona after publication.

The publishing space can be a daunting place in which to find yourself as a prospective poet, but this hour-long session should leave you enlightened and galvanise you on your journey to success. Whether you’re pondering how to effectively construct a poetry collection or wondering what is the best way to approach publishers, between them these five poets – all published by Fly On The Wall Press – should have some answers.

Whether you are an aspiring poet, an avid reader of poetry, or simply a fan of the writers featured, this panel is sure to provide inspiration.

And don’t forget to join Fly On The Wall Press on 7 December along with some other great Northern indies including And Other Stories, Bluemoose Books, Comma Press, Dead Ink Books and Saraband – at the Blackwell’s Christmas knees-up with readings and mince pies and more.
