If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re part of the Poetry Business Institute—and that matters. Everything you’ve been learning in PBI is about preparation: - structure - professionalism - systems - readiness Now, we’re opening the door to the application side of that work. You are being personally invited into the Poetry Business Network (PBN)—not as spectators, but as early participants. 🧠 WHAT PBN IS (IN PLAIN TERMS) The Poetry Business Network is a creative media company. It is where: - opportunities are created and curated - poetry is applied in real-world contexts - creatives are featured, documented, and positioned - organizations and partners engage professionally This is not another community. This is where the work gets activated. 🔁 HOW PBI AND PBN WORK TOGETHER Think of it this way: PBI prepares you. PBN positions you. 🎯 WHY YOU’RE BEING INVITED FIRST You’re not being invited because you’re curious. You’re being invited because you’re prepared. As a PBI member, you: - understand structure - respect process - know what professionalism looks like That’s exactly who this ecosystem is being built for. 🚪 WHAT THIS INVITATION GIVES YOU As an early PBI invitee, you will have: - priority access to Monthly Showcases - eligibility to be considered for Poet Life Unscripted - early visibility into how opportunities form and flow - a front-row seat to the build of a creative media company 🧩 A NOTE ON TIERS, ROLES & ACCESS The Poetry Business Network operates with three intentional tiers, each serving a specific role in the ecosystem: - Free – for observation, discovery, and public participation - Premier – for serious creatives ready to be considered for opportunities - VIP – for organizations, sponsors, and opportunity providers Important to know: Premium access in PBI includes automatic access to Premier in PBN. This means: - No separate upgrade is required - No duplicate payment - Your educational investment already positions you closer to application and opportunity

It's time you get to see what it looks like in real life. Poet Life Unscripted has officially launched inside Poetry Business Network. You will watch what happens when the lessons from PBI collide with real life. And here’s the key: You need to be inside the Network to join the conversation! Inside the conversations. Inside the comments. Inside the accountability. This isn’t passive viewing. It’s interactive. You’ll see: - What other poets are struggling with - What breakthroughs look like - What consistency actually requires - What happens after the 1v1 calls - What real execution feels like If you’re serious about building a poetry lifestyle, you should not just study the curriculum. You should study the journeys. 👉 Join Poetry Business Network. 👉 Watch the first episode. 👉 Join the conversation. The classroom teaches you the structure. The Network shows you the transformation. Let’s build.
