Untitled was founded in 2019 as a platform to amplify and promote underrepresented writers including those from socio-economically marginalised backgrounds, LGBTQ+ writers, Black Writers, Asian Writers and other minority communities, as well as writers with a disability and working class writers.

Throughout 2019 they ran live Salon events in London but 2020 has seen them take their events online by starting with bringing their format to the first S@H! Fringe earlier this year. Now they are back with six great underrepresented writers reading live!

The writers sharing for our LIVE AT HOME event will be announced soon.

Co-founded by writer Ollie Charles and events producer Nicola Lampard, Untitled are always looking for impassioned storytellers to come and share their work.

During lockdown they also launched an online global journal, Untitled: Voices. The first issue can be read for free here, with the second issue coming in November. In early September they also launched the first UNTITLED UNDERREP'D WRITERS FESTIVAL, a day long celebration of underrepresented writers with a series of workshops, panel discussions and a live Writers' Salon.
