We will hopefully in the next few issue be introducing a small amount of advertising to the magazine, we’ve considered this long and hard over a fairly long period of time, it’s involved a lot of tea, some cake and a fair bit of hmmming and hahing.

The decision was difficult as we don’t want to cheapen the look and feel of the magazine, spoil the space or reduce the magazine’s commitment to giving fine poetry the space it deserves. But, like all arts organisations in these austere times we have to try and create other forms of revenue to allow the magazine to thrive and continue to support the poets and artists that grace our pages.

We will be offering space on the inside back cover as a place where relevant and pertinent events or organisations with a similar commitment can brandish their wares. This shouldn’t in any way effect a change to the look, feel or quality of the magazine, and we hope will supplement it by offering some extra information about events, courses, books and publications.

If anyone knows of anyone who may be interested in advertising in the magazine, please get in touch.

You can of course still support The Rialto the best way there is, by buying an issue, one of our collections or by subscribing to the magazine. Thanks as ever for your continued support.

Issue 70 is due fairly soon. We also have an event coming up as part of our 25 year celebration at The Troubadour in SW5 more information here on facebook.
