As someone who works with artists on Arts Council England bids, it can feel like the only funding resource available. I want to make a list of all other types of alternative funding for independent, grass roots artists. Who wants in? Who knows stuff? Let’s share our knowledge!

Call for digital and new media writing! I’m guest editing @TheNewRiverVT and am actively looking for experimental work that glitches and gleans, encodes and engages. (Thinking of @CTCpoetry, @ELitLab, @EventsSlant, @PoemAtlas, @eliterature, many others)
Call for submissions! Send us your digital media, sound, text, and moving image work. We are particularly interested in receiving art from underrepresented, minority writers. Deadline April 12. More info at: thenewriver.us.

Massive news!!! Mine & @katztorace’s new press kicks off today! This is a truly exciting day for us: finally launching a project we’ve been planning basically since meeting at an English PEN event back in January 2018 & saying ‘You’re Maltese!’ in surprise at one another.
*NEWS* Submissions are now open for our first publication: an anthology of contemporary Maltese writing to be published in 2021! Find out more here: praspar.com #MalteseLit

Interrupting voices and registers cascade through Norwegian poet Gunnar Wærness’ dizzingly polyvocal—and baroque—work. Translated by @gabrielgudding, experience his virtuosic language in our Fall 2020 edition, out now! bit.ly/3lM9ywV #Fall2020

I stand by my pitch in here for subsidised performance being free for everyone. And that doesn't need to mean crappy deals for artists. Watch this space standard.co.uk/go/london/the…
