The list of brilliant artists that Book Works has worked with is testimony to their reputation for producing some of the most exciting and original work at the intersections of art and literature. I was obviously thrilled to have been selected for the Interstices series simply on the merit of my proposal. It has been a year since the commission and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support I received. – Diana Georgiou, selected from open submission for Interstices, guest-edited by Bridget Penney.

Many of the artists that we have worked with talk about the investment, time, care and nurture they have experienced working with Book Works ­– particularly artists commissioned through our open submission commission that offer first book commissions to new and emerging aritsts, poets and writers. We want you to become part of that supportive process and help develop the ambitions of this commissioning platform, giving further opportunities to artists, writers and readers.

We are the only publicly funded arts organisation in the UK that dedicates a core part of its programme to commissioning through open submission. No other arts organisation has this focus. Our programme aims to be nurturing, transformative and generative, giving wide-ranging opportunities to artists and readers who are new to us, and who benefit from our established publishing platform and international distribution network.
