our current resident creatives

As artists, Nichola and Jenna love to also read and explore creative writing, It was with this idea in mind that we wanted to offer writers the same opportunities within our zine as artists, this is when the writer’s residency was born.

Each month we ask our resident creatives to bring new and exciting work based on the current theme. Do explore the latest content and if this is somthing you are interested in doing then do get in touch via our form HERE…
