Record yourself reading just ONE original poem by you​ (in English) and save it as MP3, M4A or WAV.

​​

Your poem doesn't have to be one you'd like to appear on iamb –​ this is just to get a feel for your poetry and how you read it.

​​

Don't choose an 'edgy' poem with offensive language or imagery, as it will be rejected without discussion.

Send your details in Step 1,

then upload ​and send your recording

AND your poem's text in Step 2

(Word, TXT, RTF or G Docs only).

​​

The filenames of your recording and your text file MUST include your full name and your poem's title.

​​

Look out for an email confirming

your submission's receipt – it'll have details of what happens next.

Wait 21 days –​ if you haven't had an email invitation to iamb by then,

you've been declined.

​​

Please wait 6 months before auditioning again (you could be invited at a later date).

​​

If you are invited, you'll find out which wave of iamb you'll appear in, or be offered a place on the reserves list for a future wave.
