Hi,

I hope you're well!

My name is Hawwa and I am the Community Engagement Manager for Manchester City of Literature.

Connecting up as we are currently inviting multilingual writers to apply for consideration to be our two new Multilingual City Poets, taking over from our inaugural poets Ali Al-Jamri, Anjum Malik and Jova Bagioli Reyes.

The two newly appointed City Poets will occupy the role for a period of one year and will each be paid a total fee of £3,250 for a number of key deliverables inc. poetry commissions, poetry translations, international travel (optional for one of the roles) and a piece of community engagement work (full details can be found in the info pack).

Key dates:

· Midnight on Sunday 1 December 2024: Closing date for applications

· Monday 9th December 2024: Interviews

It would be great if you could pass on this opportunity to your networks and share with any poets you think may be interested. If anyone has any questions they can contact me directly on this email.

I have attached the artist pack for more info.

Thanks so much,

Hawwa
