Poetry Critique Service
|
Professional feedback designed to help you
strengthen your poetry and develop as a writer. The Poetry Critique Service offers poets the
opportunity to receive detailed, constructive feedback on their work
from experienced poet and editor Jim Bennett. Whether you are preparing poems for publication,
developing a collection, or simply looking for informed guidance on your
writing, this service provides an objective and supportive assessment of
your work together with practical suggestions for improvement. About the Service The service covers the critique of up to 10
individual poems, with a maximum total length of 450 lines of poetry. Poets may submit ten separate poems, or fewer
longer works, provided the total submission does not exceed the 450-line
limit. The emphasis is on helping writers understand the
strengths of their work while identifying areas that may benefit from
further development. Feedback is constructive, thoughtful, and tailored
to the individual poet and the poems submitted.
How It Works To ensure each poem receives careful attention,
submissions are sent in stages. Step 1 Send your first two poems for review. Step 2 The poems will be read and considered. Where
appropriate, Jim Bennett may contact you with questions or observations
before preparing the full critique. Step 3 A detailed critique is prepared and returned,
usually within three days (excluding weekends). Step 4 Once you have received feedback on the first two
poems, you may submit the next two poems for critique. This process continues until all poems included
in your submission have been reviewed. What You Will Receive The critique may include: Analysis of strengths and weaknesses Comments on language and imagery Observations on structure and form Suggestions for revision and development Guidance on clarity and effectiveness Advice on improving impact and engagement The aim is not simply to assess the poems, but to
help the poet develop a deeper understanding of their own writing. Discussion and Follow-Up Poets are encouraged to comment on the feedback
they receive and to ask questions about any aspect of the critique. Where appropriate, Jim Bennett will respond to
queries and provide clarification or additional guidance. This dialogue is often one of the most valuable
parts of the process, helping poets gain a clearer understanding of both
the critique and their own work. Who Is This Service For?

their poetry No qualifications are required. Service Fee £60 Submission Allowance Up to 10 poems, Maximum 450 lines of poetry Detailed written feedback Opportunity for follow-up discussion You can purchase this service using the following
