About this project

For the first time since its creation in March 2020, The Creative Pandemic is in the position to offer payment to the writers that share their work with us. We can do this, thanks to funding from Project Phakama.

​

The ability to write and share work for free is a privilege, but we need stories from everyone, not just the few that can afford to work for free. 

Our focus on 18-30 year olds is to encourage less experienced writers. The project offers free editorial and proofreading for the pieces chosen for publication, so don't worry if you're unsure if your piece is a perfect standard. 

Be sure to read our Submission Guide before submitting your work, found HERE.
