Our New Look!
We Are Cultureword
 
We’ve had a glow up! Commonword Cultureword relaunched as Cultureword on the 28th May. We had a joyful celebration (with cake!) at Manchester Poetry Library to mark this evolution.  Alongside our new logo and look we have a brand-new website which is full of accessible features including a Showcase page, a Writers Gallery and Events Listings.  We hope you enjoy using it!
