[Untitled] produce a bi-annual high quality gloss magazine that aims to promote the writing and visual art of people based in and around Falkirk. Twice a year [Untitled] has an open call for submissions in which anyone can submit their work for consideration. I'm pleased to say that issue 7 went to the printers today. To date [Untitled] has published numerous emerging writers and artists from Falkirk as well as some established names from the area such as Gordon Legge, Adam Stafford and Alan Bissett.
As well as producing a bi-annual magazine, [Untitled] also host frequent events including the open mic event Wooer With Words which takes place on the first Saturday of month. Each month we have an open call for writers from across Scotland to come to Falkirk to perform their writing for the first time or to a new audience. WWW will return in the new year. In addition to Wooer With Words [Untitled] has hosted several large events which aim to provide emerging writers from Falkirk to share a platform with some of the country's most well known writers, to date writers from Falkirk have shared a stage with the likes of Janice Galloway, and Liz Lochhead. Earlier this year saw [Untitled] host it's first show in Stirling as part of the Shindig Festival, the line up included a wealth of talented writers from Scotland such as Rachel McCrum, Loki and Katie Ailes. We were extremely pleased to bring Salford poet Mike Garry back to Central Scotland. If you would like to find out more about [Untitled] please visit www.untitledfalkirk.co.uk.
