Join the Write-Up Challenge 2026: 8 weeks, 9 writers, 9 projects.

31 January - 21 March

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 course is for just nine artists/writers to secure enough time and space for a private, dedicated and focused studio atmosphere.

This challenge takes place in our Online Writing Studio! If you feel ready and excited to work on your project, are open to sharing and exchanging with others, and are welcoming of generous critical thinking, then sign up at the link above!

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

We welcome practitioners whose work moves across art forms, fields, identities, cultures, and languages.

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

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
