Dwell Time - Open Call
Deadline: Mon 31 Dec 2018
Dwell Time is a newspaper published for the Penistone Line Railway in Yorkshire that seeks reflections on mental wellbeing. We are seeking drawings, illustrations, poetry and personal stories about real life, raw feelings and survival stories; more about the journeys than the destinations.

Dwell time: The time a train spends at a scheduled stop without moving. Typically, this time is spent boarding or alighting passengers, but it may also be spent waiting for traffic ahead to clear, or idling time in order to get back on schedule.

The newspaper will be distributed on the Penistone Line trains travelling from Huddersfield to Sheffield. The Newspaper is for a general audience (everybody) to pick up and read and therefore we ask that contributors are mindful of content being appropriate for all ages. All contributions will be published on the blog as they are received.

The Newspaper will be launched in Spring 2019 and all contributions will be added to the blog as they arrive.

Payments/fees: There are no fees required and at this stage no payments available for contributors. The Newspaper will be printed with sourced funding and distributed free to the public.

Criteria and selection process: Images should be high resolution (300 dpi ideally) and can be full colour or greyscale. Text submissions should be up to a maximum of 750 words as a guideline and sent in an editable format. If your text requires specific formatting/alignment please indicate this in your submission. Co-editors Alice Bradshaw, Vanessa Haley and Lenny Szrama will select contributions for printing in the newspaper.

To submit: Email: avavprojects@yahoo.co.uk with high resolution images or text in editable format. Please include what name/pseudonym you wish to use or whether you would like your contribution to be anonymous. Please include any links to your website or blog.

Deadline: End of 2018 for publishing in the first print issue of Dwell Time.
