PLAN TO BE PUBLISHED with Les Wicks
Saturday 18 June 10am – 4pm
One of the best known poetry workshop
templates in Australia will be on offer in Noosa.
Be inspired! Be published!

OK, you write & are starting to think it may be better if your work gets out there into the wider world, on to a new level. This is for you, all styles, all ages. Les' workshops are known for their constructive & friendly orientation. This workshop will have an emphasis on the nuts and bolts of establishing a poetry audience. A key component of the day will be traditional workshopping where 1 of each participant's poems are discussed (newcomers to this process needn’t worry, it's not intimidating, we just work together to make a good thing a little better). But this won't be all that's covered. Participants will benefit greatly from applying insider's hints on how the poetry scene works. Poems are examined with a view to finding outlets that fit your style... all in addition to intensive editorial feedback. Other topics include running your own projects, taking up opportunities offered by the internet & getting your book published. Everyone who so wishes will have their poems published in an established internet magazine. Experience has shown this approach is highly effective… combining practical information with an artistic dialogue among peers over a solid block of time.
LES WICKS is widely published both in Australia and overseas, an accessible poet with 8 collections to his name. He's been involved in dozens of editing projects over his 35 years as a writer & has done his popular workshops from Hobart to Byron Bay to Perth
