Write Out Loud!

Henry Curry • 19 February 2025

Celebrating 20 years

As part of our website’s 20th anniversary celebrations, we are honoured to have as our judge Bloodaxe Books editor

Neil Astley, who has done so much to open the gates of poetry to all kinds of readers and poets.

This competition is to raise funds for our website, which was described as a ‘lifesaver during the pandemic’

by Neil, and as the ‘nexus of the poetry ecosystem’ by English poet Kate Fox. Find out more.

Over 40k individuals made 102k visits to our website each month in 2024.

Stop Press: we will shortly be running video masterclasses to help more poets to get inspiration, edit

and polish their work before submitting. Keep your eyes on our news pages for more.

www.writeoutloud.net exists to inspire and inform anyone interested in poetry, whether as

a reader, writer, performer, or provider (organiser, publisher…).
