We are interested in receiving submissions that deal with current issues facing independent artistic activity within the UK, which may take shape in any form of socio-political, economical, personal, historical, (anti) academic argument or commentary.

We are offering a series of writing residencies, each of which includes a fee between £100 - £300, for a new piece of writing that is between 750 - 3000 words, based on the response and format of the commissioned work.

The resident writers will also have their work published in a new series of Doggerland journals, which will be distributed to many of the artist-led projects currently operating around the UK.

Whilst we can only offer a fee to a limited number of contributors, we hope to build an ongoing dialogue with other applicants alongside the residencies, offering opportunities to publish your work both in print and online at a later date.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit a previous piece of your own writing (published or not), which feels relevant to the call out in some way, and a 100-word proposal outlining the area, aspect, concept, or project you would like to focus on during the writing residency.
