AND CHECK OUT ONE NIGHT STANZAS!
Read This has been around for about a year now, and in the past twelve months we've received hundreds of messages, emails and letters from confused young writers, asking for our advice on everything from beating writer's block to writing a great cover-letter to finding publishing success! Well, worry no longer, and question no more, because RT's ed-in-chief Claire has created the ultimate resource for brand new, young and emerging writers: One Night Stanzas.

One Night Stanzas is less a blog, more a community: Claire wants to hear what YOU need help with in your writing, and she'll help you out with anything from getting inspired to working out how to copyright your poems. You can contact her with ideas for articles, or with questions, queries or requests, and you can also get your own work featured on the site in a variety of ways! What are you waiting for?? Check it out!
