Spoken/Written Bulletin S.W.


The bulletin is an essential tool for me as a freelance writer/tutor. It has helped me source information for entering competitions and given me job opportunities. I have come to rely on it as a resource.

All my support.

…as important, if not more important, than an information website, as it prompts us, acts as a catalyst to write, submit, send a CV etc., and push us gently further along our professional development as writers and performers etc.. so I urge you to continue this invaluable service.

I think it’s provided a really valuable service to artists, venues and organizations across the SW, both in terms of flagging up opportunities (for artists) and disseminating information about festivals etc. What I really like is that you’ve reached right across the region. That’s quite an achievement! In our huge and unwieldy region we need a few more points of connection to link us all together.  Thanks for plugging me in!

Heidi Stephenson, former South West Regional Coordinator, Apples & Snakes


A really handy resource - It was kindly forwarded to me by literature training.  I now signpost individuals to the whole thing. A well collated selection of opportunities (which combines a regional bias) I think is a great resource.

   An inherent difficulty with e -bulletins would seem to be their tendency to become too unwieldy - this bulletin is targeted and not too big.

I’m impressed by how eclectic Spoken/Written is – much better than the other SW ones I’ve seen recently. Thank you,

Susan Taylor – Poet, host of Trade Winds, member of Moor Poets


Spoken/Written is one of the few really good bulletins for poetry and spoken word in the UK - I find it really helpful, even though I don't even live in the South West!

I read the bulletin and then forward it to students at Dartington College on the Writing courses; There are 9 students in the MA and 64 at undergraduate level - I find it great as a gathering of information for the students of events they might want to attend, and also it gives them a sense of opportunities for now and for the future; It is a very useful service.

I look forward to receiving the next one and well worth subscribing to. Thanks again,

Thanks for the information so far, much appreciated.

I have found this bulletin extremely valuable - it's very difficult to get this information through other sources and it's great to have it all in one place.

I am arts editor of H20, the student magazine and I just wanted to let you know how helpful I have found your regular bulletins. 

Information that I would normally have to really search for appears in my inbox every month which is fantastic and I am then able to pass this information onto the students at the university. So many thanks,

Best Wishes,

Tracy Wall, Bath Spa University


This bulletin is extraordinarily helpful and full of info that it would either cost you to find out or would take about a week by the time you have scoured the magazines and libraries. This is a great service - please continue.

Very interesting and I intend to follow up some of the leads contained therein! I have come to it via the Creative skills newsletter - keep up the good work -- useful for us out on the edges to know what is going on in the south west and especially Cornwall/Devon.

I'm very glad indeed to have received this SW Bulletin. It seems an invaluable document and the only sure way at the moment of discovering what is happening in poetry, writing and the performing arts across the South West Region. I congratulate...the bulletin for a job excellently done and cannot imagine how promoters, writers, performers and fans of the spoken and written word in this region could possibly manage without such a useful circular to hand.

Jane Holland (Published poet, performer, reviewer and editor)


I've found the bulletin extremely useful - much more so than glossy magazine bulletins with very little information about opportunities.

Crysse Morrison


Wonderful.

Have just received this and it's great!

Grateful thanks,

Marvellous bulletin.

We've found it very useful at Carlton Poets

June Bastable for Carlton Poets


The Bulletin is welcome in my house, I find it comprehensive and therefore useful, and of course stimulating.
