Are you an emerging short-form writer living in Suffolk and looking to develop your written craft and community practice? Wild Pages gives you the chance to collaborate with fellow writers, develop your voice, and hone your skills in delivering workshops and activities with an eco-focus to people of all ages.

Over the course of the week, you’ll take part in talks and workshops led by environmentally conscious organisations and community artists, offered self-led creative and field research time, and encouraged to share your work with the public.

This residency is open to a diverse range of short-form writers living in Suffolk and working in different formats, such as writers of short fiction, poets, diarists, essayists, songwriters, and scriptwriters for short plays or monologues, and any other written mediums. We aim to work with writers who consider themselves ‘emerging’.

As a library service, we are motivated to work with people who are underrepresented and from low-income backgrounds. We are especially interested in working with creatives who are curious about community-building and sharing their experiences, skills and passions with others.

Location(s): Felixstowe Library, Ipswich County Library, Framlingham Library, Southwold Library.
Dates: Monday 24 – Friday 28 November 2025
Duration: 5 days @ £140 per day
Fee: Suffolk Community Libraries will pay a total fee of £700 to each participating artist. We will also cover reasonable travel and lunch expenses.
