What's new

Tilting the Mirror, my live literature touring show, is now done and dusted, mothballed and packed up. I'm plotting a new Jaybird show for 2009, but meanwhile, I'm managing the Poetry Translation Centre's World Poets' Tour. Six poets, twelve translators, one big tour bus. Click on 'Author Tours' or email julia@jaybird.org.uk for details.


About Jaybird



Jaybird sings about literature. Our aim is to bring writers, readers and audiences together by producing intriguing live literature shows and readings, and by managing projects for other organisations. Festival directors, venue managers, literature organisations, authors and publishers: Jaybird promotes writers and events with imagination, efficiency and verve.

Live Literature Events Do you call it Spoken Word? Or Performance Poetry? Live literature events incorporate stage direction and design to enrich the experience of hearing writers read their work.

Author Tour Management From fundraising and venue booking to marketing and on-the-road support, Jaybird will plan and deliver trouble-free author tours for publishers and other literature organisations.

Literature Promotion Writers need readers: readers need writers. To unite the two groups, Jaybird customises programming and marketing advice for writers, publishers, literature venues, festivals and organisations.

Jaybird was launched in 2006 by Julia Bird
