Here’s the blurb:

Every three months Speak Out will deliver a magazine packed with articles, stories, poems, photographs and comment, and to do this we need your help. Whether you’re a poet, an artist, a writer, a photographer or someone who has something to say send us your work and ideas. It doesn’t matter if you’re aspiring or established, young or old. All that counts is that you want the opportunity to share your work with the whole of Birmingham.

To get in contact with the Speak Out team email speakout@brap.org.uk or for more information go to brap’s website at www.brap.org.uk. Submissions for the next magazine must be received on or before 24 October 2008

The first issue is due out at the start of September and will be partly distributed by Birmingham Library & Archive services.  Here’s what issue 1 looks like:
