Another little milestone reached! This was my first year target, so it’s great to get here after 9½ months. Thank you to everyone who subscribes to The Day Job. I put a lot of effort into making it worthwhile.

If you’re a new or emerging poet and you haven’t come across my newsletter yet, have a butcher’s here. I’m drawing on a decade of experience as a full-time poet, which has involved a lot of programming and producing within the poetry world, alongside the writing itself.

Two posts per week

• Tuesdays: creative prompts or explorations of process and craft
• Fridays: practical resources, including deep-dives

£5 per month • £50 per year

A decent amount of the content is available on the free plan and I try my best to strike a balance. I want it to be accessible to everybody, but it was always designed to be an additional income stream for me.
