As part of our campaign to make Lewisham the first ever Borough of Literature, we are commissioning 4 local writers to create new work around "To All the Places I Have Read".

The work will be performed at the 2025 Deptford Literature Festival and published in the magazine.

Our first public meeting was a success! We met with Lewisham-based creatives to discuss how the UK's first Borough of Literature can offer more support and opportunities to writers and readers.

Have your say! We are holding more meetings in Feb 2025 - boroughofliterature.com
