I AM LOUD: SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL SPOKEN WORD PRODUCTION COMPANY

Founded in 2014, I Am Loud Productions started as monthly poetry night Loud Poets. With the simple goal of presenting spoken word poetry in a creative, engaging and entertaining way, the team booked the best talent they could find and pushed the boundaries of what poetry could be.

Rebranded as I Am Loud Productions in 2018, I Am Loud has evolved into a multi-disciplinary production and entertainment company. I Am Loud is still firmly rooted in producing high-quality poetry-focused projects, including their live shows hosted at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, education series Return to Form and their annual National Poetry Writing Month series.

I Am Loud has also expanded into digital production working with leading UK literary festivals StAnza Poetry Festival, Winchester Poetry Festival and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival.
