One of Write Out Loud’s regular open mic nights is on the lookout for guest poets for future nights as part of a raft of plans for its new season. Write Out Loud sale’s organiser, Sarah Pritchard, said poets who have recently published books or chapbooks, have a show they wish to promote or have recently won a prize should get in touch with her at sarahp60@pegasus60.orangehome.co.uk

She added that Write Out Loud Sale, which meets every third Tuesday of the month at the Waterside arts centre in Sale, was also interested in exchange poetry visits with other groups: “So - who would like to come visit us - and invite us?” Also planned for the new season are guest slots for regulars, selected slam nights, and pre-open mic workshops.
