Penned in the Margins is the UK's most exciting new live literature organisation. We promote events in London, produce tours across the UK and manage a wide range of literature and performing arts projects. We work with poets, authors, musicians and live artists, and have collaborated with partner organisations such as The Poetry Society, Salt Publishing and Resonance FM.
