Join SoA Advisory Clinic hosts Johanna Clarke and Theo Jones as they bring you another catch to enjoy an event originally presented as part of the SoA@Home Festival of online events on the topic of poetry and spoken word at festivals. How do festival organisers find their acts and what considerations are at play? How does a writer evaluate the terms of a booking offered to them? How can writers and organisers ensure that questions of accessibility and inclusivity are front and centre of the industry? Ian Duhig chairs this highly insightful conversation with Liv Torc, Clare Shaw and Jane Yeh.
