Hosting a Poetry Reading
A ​Virtual Seminar

Poets love to perform, and many do it all the time for free. But there are many venues out there that seek out performers and are even friendly to poets! Many of these venues have a budget for their events and pay their performers and honorarium for their work.  The publishers of Local Gems go over the 3 step formula for getting paid poetry gigs.

How Does It Work?

Purchase your ticket. Follow paypal's link back here to a private web broadcast set for the time scheduled. The day before the seminar you will be emailed a slide presentation. You can read it in advance, and use it to follow along on the live broadcast. During the broadcast there will be time allotted for questions and answers. Everyone signed up will be given the teleseminar number to call, and questions will be answered in order of call-in. 

What If I Can't Make The Time?

Got something the time of the live broadcast? The benefits of being virtual is flexibility. Everyone who signs up will be given a downloadable audio file of the live seminar once the seminar is complete. Have a question you still want answered even if you can't call in? Email it to us before the broadcast and we will answer it live. 

Tickets: $20

On the left tell us your name, email address (a real one, because that's how we will send you the information you will need) and tell us what you are most interested in learning in the virtual seminar.
