Part of the Rebecca Swift Foundation’s two-year By Poets, For Poets programme, these webinars are designed to support women poets at all stages of their journey toward building a fulfilling career.

Join the Women Poets' Network for an inspiring event that brings together poets and industry experts for a lively conversation on creativity, collaboration, and making work that resists categorisation.

Featuring Joy Francis, Alice Willitts, and Maya Chowdhry, our panel will explore the realities of building a fulfilling poetry career while pushing artistic boundaries.

After the panel, stay with us for a short practical workshop led by Maya Chowdhry where you’ll use web-based software to create a soundscape for one of your poems. Please note that the workshop will involve listening to and selecting audio clips provided by Maya Chowdhry. If this aspect makes the workshop inaccessible to you, please get in touch as we may be able to make adjustments so that you can still participate in the workshop.

What you'll need for the workshop:

• A laptop or desktop computer, though a tablet or smart phone will work too if you don't have access to a computer.
• Online audio editor - we'll be using https://wavacity.com/ during the workshop (you don't need to download anything or sign in to use it)
• A voice recording app e.g. Voice Memo or Voice Recorder

Panel: 7:00–8:00 PM
