MENTORING FOR POETS THROUGH POETRY KIT

 

For over forty years Jim Bennett has been teaching and mentoring poets many have gone on to be published in magazines and anthologies around the world, win competitions and have collections of their poetry published. 

 

Even if you just want to improve your writing on a personal level, or learn new techniques or how to adapt poetic devices, or to find your own voice, we can help you to achieve that.

 

If you want to see more of your poetry getting into print, to understand what editors are looking for, to know that your poetry is as good as it can be, we can help you achieve that. 

 

If you need help putting together a booklet or collection, we can help you achieve that. 

 

Writing can be a very solitary occupation and having reliable feedback is essential to developing as a fully rounded and compelling poet. Everyone is different so it is essential to find support that is right for you.  Here at Poetry Kit we have been offering guidance, support and helping poets to recognise their potential for over 25 years.
