About This Event

At a time when Independent publishing is innovating the market, join us for a unique panel discussion that puts the poet at the centre of their publishing journey. Join Becca Drake of Little Hirundine Press, Paul Whelan of Acid Bath Publishing and Scarlett Ward of Fawn Press, a three poet panel all of whom have taken the industry by storm by establishing their own presses. Each poet will perform some of their work whilst presenting their publishing efforts, followed by a discursive panel and opportunity for the audience to ask their pressing publishing questions.
