I'm making a Cursive Knives discord.
Community reading/listening/culture recs, Cursive Knives courses and workshops, nice bookish chat, zero "tooting".
DM me if you want in and I'll send you the link!
The website will stay up (so if you have work published with us, don’t worry!) at the slightly amended domain in the bio, but it won’t be updated any more.
Since 2014(!) it’s brought me so many opportunities & I’ve made so many friends. I’m so grateful to everyone who submitted writing or art, who pitched features & book reviews & interviews, to everyone who read the website or bought a copy of the print issues. Thank you so much.
The instagram poll has spoken, so I'm hosting a witchy writing workshop on the 30th October - join me for tarot card inspiration and dining with the dead 🎃 Tickets are available now!

The freewriting prompts can be used as inspiration for poetry, prose, or cnf — there’s no pressure to share your writing, and you can write whatever you want to.

If you’re not a poet, no worries! CURSIVE KNIVES is going to be mostly focused on Sylvia Plath’s poetry, but we’ll have some discussion of The Bell Jar, her letters and journals, and maybe some Mary Ventura and Johnny Panic.
Zero pressure to share your own writing (though you’re very welcome to!) — Cursive Knives is about sparking ideas in a supportive group, not about making you read them out 😉

Cursive Knives will take place throughout June, on four Tuesday evenings (7pm BST on 7/14/21/28 June) with each week focused on a different theme. Expect tarot poems, pink dresses, drawings of cows, conversations with bumblebees, and what it means to be a big-W Writer.
After months of threatening, I'm finally putting the finishing touches to my Sylvia Plath reading/writing workshop/course/thing. It'll likely be in June, on zoom, one evening a week for 4 weeks.
Interested? More info coming sooooon: https://t.co/Ns43nlxRsm
I've popped a note on @SeverineLit's subs page stating that I'll be back after a little break. This is the first time I've fully closed submissions in six years(!) (even when I had to trawl through thousands of spam emails) and I feel sad, but I need to work out what's next.
