You may have recently seen a call for submissions for a new project we were calling Poetic License.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out and submit. We’re really sorry to inform you that we have decided to cancel The Forest: Poetic License.

It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but as a volunteer-run organisation and collective, we depend enormously on the energy and commitment of the editing team. Unfortunately at this time we don’t have the capacity to carry this project to completion.

We will be meeting as a collective to discuss next steps and future plans; please keep your eyes peeled for any further calls for action as we are always keen to collaborate with artists!

Once again, apologies for the disappointment, and thank you for your expression of interest.

Best wishes,

Forest Editorial Team (Charlie, Alice, Nadine, and Claire)
