The Business of Poetry Unleash the power of language to create many streams of revenue! CALLING ALL POETS WHO WANT TO EARN A LIVING FROM THEIR POETRY $220 for non-APC members On 28 April at 5:30pm, Entrepreneur in Residence at RMIT, Henrik "Dr. Business" Aeshna, and the Acting Director of the Australian Poetry Centre, Paul Kooperman, gave a free lecture at RMIT about earning a living as a poet and artist. The workshop was well-attended and a great success. There is obviously strong interest in establishing a career, making a living and sustaining a livelihood from writing poetry or creating art of any kind. As a follow up, or in case you missed this lecture, the Australian Poetry Centre is running an online workshop offering poets the chance to develop a strategy for earning an income from writing poetry without compromising their style or craft. The course will be run by Henrik Aeshna (marcuspowe), starting Monday August 2nd, and run for ten weeks, ending Monday October 11th. To be accepted into the course, prospective participants are asked to submit a half page proposal outlining why they want to earn a living and/or income from their poetry, ideas they personally have for doing so and their commitment in pursuing this goal. The deadline for these proposals is Friday July 9th. Each week, participants will be asked to set goals and follow specific steps in order to achieve their goals. Together, with Aeshna, participants will identify problems, solutions and strategies in order to plan for success and begin sustaining a career as a poet. You can participate from any location in the world, as long as you have an email address. The course costs $220 for non-APC members. If accepted into the course, you will need to be a member of the Australian Poetry Centre. Please check our website for details of how to join: australianpoetrycentre.org.au If you are an APC member, the course costs $200 (that’s $20 a week for the sake of your career) and places are limited.
