Spread the Word: Lewisham, Borough of Literature Commissions – To All the Places I Have Read
Deadline: Fri 29 Nov 2024
Spread the Word are commissioning three people to create new writing as part of our campaign to make Lewisham the UK's first ever Borough of Literature. Open to Lewisham-based writers, poets and spoken word artists.
We are seeking writers to create evocative poems (no longer than 62 lines each) and short stories (1,000-1,500 words) inspired by the unique stories and atmospheres found within, for example, Lewisham’s local green spaces, cafes, libraries, community spaces and restaurants. The work will reflect the diverse experiences and voices of our community, capturing the essence of these gathering spaces and their significance in daily life.
The commissions will be shared in the Deptford Literature Festival 2025 Magazine. Commissioned writers will read their work at a Lewisham, Borough of Literature event as part of the festival on Saturday 29 March 2025.
