Hosting a Poetry Reading
A Virtual Seminar
|
There are many different types of poetry readings, and there are many things to figure out when planning one. The publishers of Local Gems Press have hosted poetry readings and tours up and down the East Coast and beyond. They've put together one-off readings, recurring readings, book tours, special events, and more. They are very experienced in advertising their readings and bringing in audiences as high as hundreds of people...yes, for poetry. In this seminar they are going to teach the fundamentals of planning a poetry reading and how to get people to attend. This seminar will be good whether you are planning your first event ever, or have been a veteran host for a dozen years looking to make your readings even better.
Looking to start a reading in your area? Host one for a school club? Maybe you are a librarian looking to bring poetry to your library? This seminar is for you. |
