🎬 PBN PRESENTS A NEW SHOW | "Poet Life Unscripted"

We’re excited to share an important milestone from the Poetry Business Institute (PBI).

"Poet Life Unscripted" has officially been announced as the first production under the evolving media arm of the Poetry Business Network (PBN)—and the poets featured in this series will come from PBI and from poets who have not yet joined the Institute.

This matters because it reinforces what PBI exists to do:

prepare poets for real-world application, not just theory.

🎥 What Poet Life Unscripted Is

Poet Life Unscripted is a documentary-style series that follows real poets and creatives as they navigate:

Opportunity
Growth
Pressure
Wins and lessons
Real-time application of their craft

This is not scripted content.

This is not promotional fluff.

This is not a highlight reel.

The series documents process over polish and journey over performance—showing what it actually looks like to build a life, career, and ecosystem with poetry while it’s happening.

What you build inside Track 1—clarity, structure, documentation, confidence—is exactly what this series highlights in real life.

🔁 How This Fits the Ecosystem

Poet Life Unscripted lives within PBN as part of its role as a creative media company that now:

Builds opportunities
Documents the journey
Distributes culture

If you want updates, casting details, participation opportunities, and conversation around the show, PBN is where that will happen.

👉 We encourage all PBI students to join and engage in the Poetry Business Network to stay connected to the show and the larger ecosystem.

🗓️ Casting Call Opens Monday

The official casting call for Poet Life Unscripted opens on🗓️ Monday, February 2nd.

Details on:

Who we’re looking for
How to apply
Expectations and eligibility

…will be shared inside the Poet Life Unscripted section.

This will be a curated process.

Not everyone will be selected—and that is intentional.

⚠️ Important Perspective

This show is not about chasing visibility.

It's about documenting real work, real growth, and real application.

If you’re committed to:

Showing up honestly
Respecting structure
Letting your journey speak

You’ll want to pay attention on Monday.

🔥 Final Word

From the Institute’s perspective, this is what preparation leads to.

You’re witnessing the first production of a media company being born—and the poets featured will be those who are doing the work.

Years from now, this moment will be referenced as:

“That’s where it started.”

And you’re early enough to see it unfold.
