Write-up Challenge 2026!

9 writers 9 projects for 8 weeks.

Bring your new or longstanding project to the table

Engage, develop, work live online.

From week 12 January 2026 to week 2 March 2026 (exact dates to be fixed)

We’ve all been there: working on a project and struggling to move from sketches, research & development to actual writing. There’s nothing like regular, committed practice in a small dedicated group to get going and keep going! This is what the Write-Up Challenge is about: get going, get accountable, and set a time limit.

Who is this for?

This challenge will benefit writers, interdisciplinary artists, and art practitioners from various fields and forms who are about to engage in a project's writing up and content development.

The challenge is kept to just nine artists/writers to secure enough time and space for a dedicated and focused studio atmosphere.

Please note: English is the studio’s working language but not necessarily the only language at work.

The challenge takes place in our Online Writing Studio if you feel ready and excited to get to work on your project, are open to sharing and exchanging with others, and are welcoming of generous critical thinking!

Prior experience completing a project is advisable as well as an interest in various art forms, and ways of working.

We swelcome practitioners who work and write across artforms, fields, identities, cultures and languages.

Don’t go it solo

Testimonials

  • A good facilitator knows when to give direction, and when to step back and let the conversations that are starting unfold. Caroline does a great job at that, and at opening up a space to enter and engage with everyone’s work and process. The Write Up Challenge was a really generative experience for me.

    — Brad, poet. Write-Up Challenge 2025

  • Without doubt, one of the most valuable aspects of the course for me was its duration and depth - the sustained dialogue was an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling way of developing creative relationships with a wonderful range of practitioners.

    — Practice Conversation Participant

  • The variety of approaches among the assembled artists was deeply engaging for me. I also looked more carefully at my own practises and understand them more fully.

    — Practice Conversation Participant

  • Caroline’s compassionate approach provided a creative and supportive environment for sharing work across time zones. Each participant had their own unique practice, but the workshop style enabled us all to share our work, give and receive feedback, and encourage each other. I am definitely a better artist after this workshop.

    — Trine, multi-disciplinary artist. Write-Up Challenge 2025

  • I feel a return of confidence and momentum, and simple excitement for the work. I also can acknowledge and grasp all that I have accomplished already.

    — Corrine, poet and editor. Write-Up Challenge 2025
