Poetry Critique Service
Individual written critiques of your poetry, with constructive advice on language, imagery, structure and ways to develop your work.
How the critique service works
Send your poems two at a time. Jim Bennett will read them carefully and may ask a question or two before preparing an individual critique. After receiving feedback on the first pair, you can send the next two, continuing until the agreed total is reached.
You are welcome to ask questions about the comments, and Jim will respond as appropriate. Critiques are usually returned within three days, excluding weekends.
What you can submit
The service covers up to ten individual poems, with a combined maximum of 450 lines. Longer poems may also be submitted, including a single extended poem, provided the total does not exceed 450 lines.
Service fee
The fee for the Poetry Critique Service is £60.
