Poets and Producers Academy
From the written word to the finished record.
A subscription academy for poetry, lyric writing, music production, artist development, and collaboration. Develop your craft, find collaborators, and turn ideas into work you’re proud to share.
Learn through a connected monthly theme, practical resources, weekly live sessions, and a community showcase. Season One begins January 2027.
Can’t attend live? Every workshop is recorded and added to the member archive so you can learn on your schedule.
Two creative paths. One shared academy.
The Writing Room
Explore imagery, rhythm, storytelling, poetry, and lyrics. Draft, revise, and bring your words to life.
The Production Lab
Build beats, shape arrangements, explore sound design, and connect words with music.
Come as a poet, producer, songwriter, or curious beginner—and grow through practice, collaboration, and performance.
Every month has one theme. Everything ties to it.
The writing prompt, the production challenge, the shared project files, and the live events all orbit the same idea, so you're part of one creative journey instead of a pile of random content.
Kickoff & Inspiration
Live creative kickoff: theme intro, a writing prompt, and a beat built from scratch. The monthly resource drop lands: project file, sample pack, prompt PDF.
Skill Building
A workshop that alternates between poetry craft and production craft, plus a structured feedback thread for your drafts.
Studio Lab
Live feedback night. Submit a track or poem and get constructive, supportive critique. Collab matches pair poets with producers.
Showcase
Open mic and listening party. Perform, play finished tracks, and celebrate. Each month ends with a community playlist and a member spotlight.
Season One: January–March 2027.
Safety first, then connection, then depth. By the end you've made real work, built real relationships, and have an archive of it all.
Foundations
Onboard, build trust, and get comfortable sharing unfinished work. Writing for tempo, rhythm, and silence.
Challenge: a 2–3 minute spoken word + beat piece.
Collision
Move from solo creation to collaboration. Contrast: hard and soft, noise and silence, anger and tenderness.
Challenge: a collaborative piece, either a poet + producer pair or a remix of another member's submission.
Atmosphere
Deepen your artistic identity: mood, space, and world-building, ending in a longer festival-style performance night.
Challenge: a fully immersive spoken word piece with layered production and intentional sound design.

Good questions.
What does artist development mean here?
Practice your craft, finish creative challenges, collaborate, and share your progress. Full Access adds live feedback submissions and the complete resource archive. Feedback is delivered through group sessions; this membership does not include private coaching, custom production, mixing, or mastering.
Is this for poets, producers, or both?
Both, and the overlap is the point. Poets get to hear their words over real production, and producers get words worth building around. Collab matching pairs the two.
Do I need to be experienced?
No. Month 1 is built around sharing rough drafts and normalizing iteration, so you can show up with unfinished work.
Which production software do I need?
Project files are provided for Reason and Logic Pro. Poets can take part with nothing but a pen and a voice.
How does the Founders price work?
Founding Circle members pay $25/month instead of the regular $39/month, locked in for as long as they stay subscribed. The Founding Circle is for Season One members.
What if I can’t attend a workshop live?
Every workshop is recorded and added to the member archive, so you can catch up and learn on your own schedule.
What happens at a live event?
Tuesday is the main event: a kickoff, workshop, feedback night, or showcase depending on the week. Sunday is a lower-key open studio for writing and producing alongside other members.
