The Poetry Business Network is the premier global community for poets who want to build a career, create income, and transform their art into a thriving business. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, PBN is your launchpad.
The Poetry Business Institute (PBI) is the educational arm of the global Poetry Business Network (PBN) — the #1 hybrid trade school and community for poets who want to turn their art into a thriving business.
PBI equips poets worldwide with the skills, systems, and strategies to operate as creative entrepreneurs, not just performers. We train and certify poets through structured programs that build professional credibility, income streams, and industry connections.
All PBI students are members of PBN, giving them access to our global network, local chapters, partner opportunities, and a built-in creative support system.
