About Us:

LikeMinds-n-MindsAlike, Inc was birthed in 1993 as a company for aspiring writers to collaborate on freelance projects which ranged from articles and poetry to novels and theatre, with the expressed intent to share and duplicate those experiences that accelerated economic success via networking relationships. Today we have redefined our presence by positioning ourselves as the premier company to provide professional poetry readings and book readings to large and small audiences ranging from home recitals to open arenas.

We are still committed to providing accelerated economic success via networking relationships and other avenues to increase the exposure for our Artists and our clients. We are committed to continually showcase the best poetry, writers, and readers with the most electric personalities to fulfill the demands for alternative entertainment while aesthetically and financially enriching the lives of all involved.

Mission Statement:

Our goal is to make poetry more visible and viable in communities by finding a “home” for our Artists so that they can showcase and display their art and by nurturing new Artists. Through this process we endeavor to create an opportunity for vendors to increase revenue by attracting an increased clientele and by generating a predictable return of clients to their establishments. By offering culturally enriching and spirited displays of creativity from a diverse selection of poets and aspiring Artists willing to lend their voices, their creative styles and their talents in this medium we call poetry. Equally, through this process we are committed to fulfilling the needs of the general public by offering professional recitals and reading in homes for special occasion and non-occasion events.

Our mission is to provide professional poetry readings and recitals of a saucy collection of poetry that's hip, elegant and sophisticated in diverse venues from private residences to open arenas for entertainment. And to provide a forum for understanding the different material presented. We are committed to offering and increasing the awareness of and appreciation for poetry, poets and their voices and providing our audiences with memorable personalities that leave rich and lasting impressions.

We are looking for fresh, spirited individuals to train and develop as Artists with our company. For consideration to become affiliated with LikeMinds-n-MindsAlike please send your resume to: info@minds-n-motion.net
