COMMON LORE Interest Form
COMMON LORE is being built with access, consent and care at its centre. Contributors will be able to use real names, pen names or remain anonymous where appropriate. Stories involving real people, families or communities will be handled carefully, and contributors will be asked how they want their work used, shared or archived.
The project will prioritise plain English, fair pay where funding allows, accessible submission routes and respect for lived experience.
You do not need academic credentials, publication history or a formal arts background to register interest.
We especially welcome people who self-identify as working-class, low-income, from council estate backgrounds, care-experienced backgrounds, first-generation university backgrounds, precarious work backgrounds, or communities historically excluded from arts, heritage, academic and publishing spaces.
This is an expression of interest form, not a formal application. It is simply a way to hear from people who may want to contribute, collaborate, attend, join the community or stay updated.
