Birkbeck Publishing Project, Launch of 45 Square Poetry Journal

Our final project of Birkbeck's Creative Writing BA course was a publishing project.  As fate would have it, I was Editor of the poetry journal, 45 Square.  We weren't allowed to submit poems for our own journal which was a shame.  However, this meant that we dedicated more time to the project, and much time was needed!!

Here's Assistant Editor, Tarquin Landseer, and I with our cover artist, Karina Vettorel at her University of East London degree show

plus the moment of truth when the hard copies arrived by courier.  

The next day was the launch event which was a highly polished and exciting evening held at Stratford Circus, a great culmination of a brilliant course!

Take a look at the website created for the journal by our Production Manager, Matteo Muscas.
