Graffiti Magazine

Members of the Catchword writers group produce a writing magazine Graffiti to help showcase local writing. This is available from small shops in Cirencester and around the Cotswolds, and from the Brewery Arts Centre in Cirencester, or by post see below.

The Graffiti magazines include a competition aimed at local writers.

If you have an article (1,250 words), short story (1,250 words) or poem (40 lines) that you would like to be considered for inclusion in the next Graffiti magazine, then please send details of what you would like to do to the editor by email on graffiti.magazine@yahoo.co.uk.
