About Loose Muse:
The evening features two women writers/artists every month, drawn from all genres. Each read for 15-20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute Q & A session where the audience can ask questions and learn more about the writer. There is also an open mic session with readers from the floor sharing their work. The evening has built a solid reputation not only for the quality of work, but also for its welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
Who are you likely to see? We've had an amazing array of featured writers. They have included literary stars such as poets Aoife Mannix and Malika Booker, Editor of Sable Magazine Kadijah George-Sesay, novelist Adrienne Dines, and broadcaster/singer Jumoke Fashola. Some are newcomers, while others are well-established. A good number of writers featured by LM have gone on to bigger and better things – for example Sally Blackmore was chosen as an Olympic Storyteller, Katrina Naomi was the Bronte Parsonage Museum’s first writer-in-residence, and Izzy White rediscovered her love of poetry at Loose Muse and is now a regular on the Performance Poetry circuit.
Submit your work and get published: This is Loose Muse’s seventh year and with the Arts Council of England grant, we can open the events up and increase their reach. We can now commission four new pieces of work a year and put together two anthologies. Submissions are open to any woman writer who has attended a Loose Muse event.
