The Stove & Karl Drinkwater present:
WRITE! Publication Project
A printed book of creative work that has come out of WRITE! Sessions.
What's it all about?
Our goals
To showcase creativity that’s been inspired by The Stove’s projects.To boost the confidence of creators (which is massively important when you are starting out).To create an entertaining new publication for all.
Small print
Submissions
Open to anyone who has attended a WRITE! session. The work should have been developed from one of the WRITE! prompts.Karl will be available to help the creator with selection, editing, polishing, or creative mentoring (time permitting).
Information
What we are interested in
The creative work itself, in a final form.Details of the prompt that inspired it, so that a reader could also use it to inspire their own work.A brief biography and/or social media or website links (all optional).(Karl can help with all these!)
Further Details
The work will be printed by The Stove on their new risograph machine. We're hoping to work with an illustrator so each piece can be presented with relevant decoration or imagery and colours, one of a kind.There's no payment (it's not a profit-making exercise for anyone) but all contributors will get a copy with their work in.Where needed, Karl will work with people on polishing work, and all contributors will be invited to any launch events, possibly with the chance to read out the work (and with support for those who lack confidence but want to do that).
