Pens of the Earth

Stories and poems from our launch night themes are now being published by our media partners Star & Crescent. They will also be announcing our new submission theme this Friday (1st Nov), and we will be opening a new submission window.

Thanks to everyone who submitted material to us. Fabulous stuff! Look out for the three week Star & Crescent series, featuring selected stories, poems and articles based around our launch night themes. Our new submission window and theme(s) will be announced in the next couple of weeks.

We’re now also accepting narrative non-fiction submissions (in other words, factual pieces written using the techniques of fiction).

We’ve added:

• Summaries of the talks from our launch night:
  1. Plastic Free Portsmouth
  2. Portsmouth 2030 – A City Transformed
  3. Streets for People
• Submission guidelines
• A gallery of environmentally themed photos for additional inspiration
• Details of events at Tea Tray Creatives

We now have a Twitter account, run for us by the wonderful Annie Kirby. Check us out: @EarthPens.

We now have a mailing list! Click on About -> Mailing List to sign up and be kept informed about Pens of the Earth activity by email.

The Launch Night page now has details of the talks to be given by our environmentalists.

So, the Pens of the Earth website is live! Lots more information to come in the following weeks and months. See the About page for details about the project.
