Our writers are poets and wordsmiths made of all sorts - our storytellers. Their word paintings and musings are the relics set out and left behind to inform and inspire both present and future minds. Lyrically justified recognises diverse voices as occupying a valid space and the need to give these voices exposure, so they reach further – further justifying their persistence. We call them urban poets, some-sing, others rap, do the reggae thing, and/or chat, and we have the spoken word variety. Based in Bristol, London, South Yorkshire, Manchester, Hull and Leeds, they speak authentically of politics and society in general, with passion.

Sharing a platform

Networking is a key benefit to Lyrically Justified. While promoting the anthology, Writers/Performers are able to promote themselves. Some significant degree of outlets may be created via the Lyrically Justified Network.​

​In terms of potential exposure - sharing contacts can pay dividends.
​We could reach thousands of people through mutual promotion - if each contributor spends an hour or and afternoon igniting their links and making friends aware... 

Feel you can contribute in one way or another - get in touch...
