Birmingham Words is an online community for readers and writers. The site has two main aims:

• To build community between writers, readers and all those who love words.
• To publish on-site articles, reviews and criticism as well as new writing and artwork in our Birmingham Words downloadable pamphlets.
  

Visitors have access to all areas of the site, but if you want to get more actively involved, you can register. This will allow you to join in much more fully with the life of the community. Registration is free and secure, and you can unregister at any time.

Since we started life some time in 2002, the site has been entirely free of charge. We are keen to keep it that way. From late 2005 we have been generously funded by the Arts Council England.
