Only Human by the writers of the world who weren’t allowed to write
Brighton, UK 2026
The open•book project is about connecting the dots between people. People who are only human in everything they do – from the words they speak, to the soul they bare. This book is written for writers who don’t wear that label, by authors who were never allowed to write.
We’re looking for pieces of copy, paragraphs of text, poetry, stories, observations, lyrics, experiments and genuine from-the-heart writing – about everything that makes us who we are.
If you’d like to be part of the project you can submit a variety of formats, including written articles, handwritten drafts, text-based artwork, or any creative medium that tells a story or shares your unique human perspective.
More information about the project will be available soon.
To submit, go to the link below, fill out the form with your basic information, provide a brief description of your submission, and upload your file in the appropriate format (e.g., PDF, DOCX, JPG). Be sure to review the permissions section to grant us the rights to publish and share your work.
