The Wild Pansy Press Writers’ Room is a site for intense full- or part-time residential periods at the intersection of fine art and literature - be that of art writing, memoir, auto-fiction, science fiction, fan-fiction, zine culture, sound art, broadcasting or the spoken word.
The space will be available as a working studio, but can also be reimagined for outcomes such as exhibitions, publication launches, performances, screenings or symposia. The Writers’ Room is a working space with scope for intimate or public-facing engagements. We imagine it fostering connectivity across demographics and practices.
The Writers’ Room offer practitioners working with text, image, voice and recording a place to find respite and a space to develop projects; a place to create something new, imagining and transforming through the power of language.
We are closed now for proposals for residencies but we may still be able to host events such as workshops, book groups, readings book launches and screenings. Please see our What's on at the Writer's Room section.

Please note, the Writers’ Room is run and staffed on an entirely voluntary basis, as is the Wild Pansy Press. We are all happy to do this but it means that we may not be able to respond to proposals and questions as quickly as we would like.
For artists undertaking residencies, we will always try and deal with any practical issues or requests as quickly and efficiently as we can. What funding we receive is generally taken up by running costs, but we are constantly looking for sources of support, financially and in kind.
There is public access to the grounds of the building Wednesday - Saturday, 11 - 6pm & by appointment (with a bell on the West gate of the building). The Writers’ Room will be open for events and by arrangement with resident artists
