Poetry development scheme: Faber New Poets 2014 / 15

Applications are invited from emerging poets for the scheme, which includes pamphlet publication, mentoring and financial support

The Faber New Poets scheme, run by Faber and Faber with Arts Council England, exists to encourage new writers at a crucial point in their career. It is open to unagented poets who have yet to publish a first collection or pamphlet. Four new poets will be offered the opportunity to develop their work under the scheme.

To apply, poets should submit 16 A4 pages of poems and a cover sheet including confirmation that the poet has not yet published a pamphlet or first collection. Only email submissions will be accepted.

The closing date is 30 January.
