*** Click Here Write Out Loud Click Here***Write Out Loud encourages everyone who writes poetry to share their words with others in friendly, welcoming open-floor read-around and open-mic events.We also support individual poets, and organizations and groups across the country, via our website.Sharing poetry with others gives us more of a buzz than being published. We are not knocking publication; just saying that performance poetry offers different opportunities for poets. It's live, acoustic and encourages people to talk and listen to each other: face-to-face! With so many styles, ideas, forms, voices, experiences - we love it!Our approach seems to have captured imaginations and enthusiasm!Write Out Loud is run primarily by Julian Jordon and Paul Blackburn with Gemma O'Neill, John Armstrong, Louise Coulson, Sean Kavanagh & Val Cook supported by a growing number of volunteers. We currently run four regular monthly nights in the North of England at Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan and have plans to run more. We hold many irregular and one off events too including an annual festival in BordeauxVisit our website at Write Out Loud to sign up or to find out what's going on in the performance poetry scene in the UK.The site receives 15,000+ visitors a month - why not join them!
