Call for submissions from a Bristol-based writer:

‘Work for What’ is a new publication for writings that don’t often meet the eyes and ears of others. A platform for writers whose words weave inner dialogue with external observation. 

We are looking for work focused on the act of being alive, and bemusement within our society. Stopping and breathing from existence within Capitalism.

OPEN CALL (deadline 31/08)

This is an open call for submissions of writings that responds to the following prompts:

-Love money and health
-One star review
-Living becoming dying
-The person you see before going to work

Please send submissions to workforwhatinfo@gmail.com

  • Please submit your words in a PDF format 

  • Include your name 

  • Include what prompt the text refers to

  • You don’t have to respond to all four, one is fine. 

If chosen your words will feature in the physical publication, launching this autumn. 

Deadline midnight August 31st.
