Meet the Publishers
Meet three fantastic publishers and learn more about how they work with poets and what they look for in new work. John McAuliffe, associate publisher at Carcanet, Ghazal Mosadeq, founder and editor of Pamenar Press, and Edward Crossan, editor at Birlinn, will be joining forces to demystify the work of publishers and answer your questions about pitching, editing and the poet-publisher relationship.
