Reserving advertising space in The Poetry Paper 2010
The Poetry Paper is a free, highly-acclaimed and comprehensively well-distributed annual publication. Advertising space is allocated on a first come, first served basis and for a third-year running rates are frozen in recognition of the tight budgets many organisations face. Advertising space starts at just £170.
In Print & Online This year, for the fist time The Poetry Paper will also be fully available (and free) online. All print advertisers will also receive a web advert - with logo, weblink and up to 50 words of text.
