Free poetry, without a term-time deadline

A writing practice rarely arrives on a perfect timetable. We might have ten minutes on a quiet morning, a draft that needs attention or a question we keep returning to. Our poetry and writing collection is being built to make room for that.

Free means no course fee

All 51 poetry and writing course plans in our initial collection are free to do. That includes the plans involving human teaching. We will not use a mandatory feedback or session charge to turn a free course into a paid journey. The course pages identify what is available now and what still needs producing.

Evergreen means the course is not tied to one run

Our own catalogue is evergreen. A suggested four-week pace is a way to organise practice, not a requirement to arrive on a particular Monday or finish before a term closes. A future scheduled session can have a real date without making the underlying learning material disappear.

Choose a craft question

If we are starting from scratch, a short observation exercise is enough. If we already have a draft, a course about line breaks, sound or revision gives the next session a focus. Writers with several pieces can explore sequence and pamphlet-making. We do not need to work through the whole catalogue in order.

Use what is available now

Each published plan includes an original introductory lesson and a detailed route through the proposed course. The full teaching packs, saved completion journey and any tutor-led sessions are still being developed. We can read and use the open exercise now without an account; saving personal plans and notes uses the account service.

Registering interest is separate from enrolling. It lets us know which course matters to someone and gives them a way to request relevant availability information. It does not reserve a tutor, promise a start date or create a payment obligation.

Our course pages link back to the poetry hub, where we can compare subjects and find an exercise that fits today’s writing time.
