Patience Agbabi will be mentoring three poets in the Jerwood/Arvon mentoring scheme, open for applications from UK writers who attended an Arvon course in 2012. The scheme is designed for those interested in developing their writing and “professional practice”, and who have a clear idea of what they like to achieve over a year-long period. Each applicant’s place is fully supported with funding from the Jerwood Charitable foundation. The closing date for applications is 7 January 2013. More details
