The Writers' Room has moved to to 35 Britannia Row, London N1 8QH
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.
This new space is a working studio for our regular programme of artists in residence but will 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 have scheduled residencies for the next few months.
With the move to our new site in Britannia Row we are able to expand our programme of artists’ residencies, workshops, performances and readings. Since we started it in 2023 this project has been run by curators Lucy Cunningham and Simon Lewandowski with practical support from the Florence Trust. We are at a point now where we could use some help!
We’d be interested to hear from people who’d be interested in joining us in running The Writers’ Room, particularly over the next 6 months. This could include helping to plan and run events like live performances or educational workshops along with documenting and recording events.
We would also like to encourage aspiring Art Writers to contribute their own texts in response to the programme – in the form of critical essays and reviews or other forms of creative writing. This would allow us to build up a library of publicly-available critique, review, fiction, life-writing and poetry circulated via our website and social media.
What we can offer in return is the chance to work with a variety of creative artists working at the experimental edge of Art and Literature and the opportunity to keep an exciting and innovative project moving forward.

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
