ThePoetryBusiness

The Poetry Business is a publisher and writer development agency.

We publish books, pamphlets, audio and eBooks under the smith|doorstop imprint; edit a literary magazine, The North; and run Writing Days, masterclasses, residential courses, and a Writing School for published poets. We also run the annual Book & Pamphlet Competition.

Smith|doorstop was given the Michael Marks Award for Poetry Publishers in 2012; and chair of judges, Alan Jenkins, described the press as "a byword for quality".
