About

Fieldnotes is an artist-run publishing project based in Newham in east London. We produce an annual print journal alongside a public programme of workshops, mentoring opportunities, radio broadcasts, screenings and readings.
Founded in 2020, Fieldnotes aims to promote and support non-conforming creative practices that pioneer new cultural forms. We seek to challenge the systemic inequalities that limit opportunities in the arts by working with individuals and communities who may not find support elsewhere.
Our purpose is to provide a test site for poetic innovation, a place for new voices and collaborations, a venue for experimental modes and fresh departures between disciplines. We are interested in the third thing between two known things; we are looking for the spaces between translations and transitions.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, except for concession codes are available for those unable to pay the submission fee. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is GBP £4 (above average for magazines that charge).
