Poetry Paper Advertising 2011

Reserving advertising space in The Poetry Paper 2011

The Poetry Paper is our stylish annual newspaper – interviews, articles and new poems from the poets we’ve brought to Suffolk during the year for the Festival and the Poetry Prom. Copies are free, nationally distributed and snapped up fast. It is also available in full (and free) online - last year’s issue can still be seen here. The Poetry Paper is the best way of extending the reach of the Festival and celebrating this year’s team of poets.

Now onto its eighth edition, The Poetry Paper has become an eagerly anticipated annual fixture and advertising space is allocated on a first come, first served basis. For a fourth-year running we have frozen the cost in recognition of the tight budgets many organisations face. Advertising space starts at just £170.

All print advertisers will also receive a web advert - with logo, weblink and up to 50 words of text.

Distribution

Nationally distributed and targeted at poets and creative writers, poetry and literature enthusiasts and arts/contemporary culture audiences. 5,000 free copies will be distributed from November 2011 until March 2011.

Content

Exclusive interviews with Alice Oswald and Simon Armitage, contributions from 2011 Aldeburgh Poetry Festival poets (including new poems), commissioned articles and some quirky diversions. The Poetry Paper is 28 pages long and a maximum of six pages are allocated for advertising. This is a non-profit-making enterprise, with advertising revenue ploughed straight back into covering most of the design, production and distribution costs.
