Jaybird Live Literature, which I founded in 2006, is the entity though which I create and manage many of my freelance projects. Through JLL, I managed multiple tours of African, Asian and Latin American poets to diasporic audiences for the Poetry Translation Centre, additional tours for Banipal Magazine of Modern Arabic Literature and the British Council, and various poetry and art installation projects. I worked as a scout and producer from 2016 to 2019 for the National Writers’ Centre and partners on The Inn Crowd, a project touring live literature and theatre shows to rural pub venues in the eastern region. The work JLL is most known for is the touring live literature show. Through JLL, I have devised and produced eight Arts Council funded poetry shows with award-winning and emerging poets touring to arts centres and theatres round the UK, including the first adaptations of Daljit Nagra’s Ramayana and Clare Pollard’s Ovid’s Heroines. JLL is active or dormant depending on what other work I'm doing at the time.

The Poetry Society is the UK’s advocacy organisation for poetry. I created new national production partnerships to develop a live, online & participative events programme for adult and young communities. As a Senior Manager, I led the Society’s largest department (Education - 3 staff + freelancers) to deliver a diverse range of schools & young people’s activities.Partnership projects I have delivered include those with Brent Borough of Culture (schools placemaking), BBC Radio 3 (young futures crowdsourced poetry), the British Museum (commissions and events), the Canal & River Trust (the national Canal Laureate project – community engagement, public art and commissions), EUNIC (inter-European commissions and performances), Historic England (Where Light Falls – public art projections, part-created by exiled and refugee writer groups on St Paul’s and Coventry Cathedrals, 20k+ visitors), the Imperial War Museum (commissions, films and performance to mark the 100th anniversary of WW1), Keats House (commissions, events and community engagement as part of the 200th anniversary commemorations of Keats’ death), Museum of the Home (Hackney young people’s engagement with contentious statuary), Oxford University (national community engagement on themes of the 1381 Revolt), the Science Museum (immunology-themed commissions and performances), Tower Hamlets Library Service (schools poetry slams focussing on Muslim poet facilitators) and TfL / Poems on the Underground (the PS managed PotU’s finances and Arts Council relationship till 2022).

The Poetry School is the UK’s biggest provider of adult poetry education; running classes, projects, partnerships and events in London, regionally, internationally and online. After promotions, I was responsible for the curation of a programme of informal and formally accredited poetry education, ranging from classroom teaching to professional skills development to complex partnerships with other cultural providers. I also managed the programming, marketing and administration and building team (3.5 staff). During Aug 2015 – March 2016, I was acting director, working closely with the Board until the appointment of a new FT Executive Director.

At the time I worked there, the PBS was an ACE-funded poetry promoting and bookselling membership organisation. My duties included the creation and maintenance of the Society’s membership, promoting sales to members and other customers, producing and editing the quarterly Bulletin magazine, overseeing publishers’ submissions procedures, creating education resources, maintaining the website, developing and managing PBS project work including commissions, awards, readings and events.

Brewery Arts (now called New Brewery Arts) was a multi-disciplinary arts centre, comprising a 120 seat theatre, galleries and craft workers’ studios. I devised, marketed and ran education projects and classes for adults and children relating to its art, craft, literature and theatre programmes, working closely with its Friends organisation.
