Open Projects, Guidelines, and anything important below. We sincerely appreciate your interest in the Fahmidan Blog. We want to create community through diversity in action and through words. We believe we can achieve this! Unless specified, you can submit from anywhere in the world.
Open Projects
Island Precipitation
Open to British Citizens/nationals at home and abroad. Give us your reflections on the UK today. Speak to your everyday experiences and the challenges you and your community face. From everyday wonders to life-changing challenges, we want to hear from the British in an era of ever-increasing challenges.
Globalised Gen Z
Open to writers 18+ born (inclusive) 1997. Speak to us about your day-to-day, what makes your life, and the challenges you face. Talk to us about your local community, the work you do, or even write about experiences that have shaped you and your community and beyond.
The Autoimmune/ Chronically Ill Register
As autoimmune and chronic health conditions continue to rocket across the globe, this blog is meant to be a safe haven to be heard, seen, and understood both in the context of your condition and beyond. Through shared experience and community, this blog hopes to give the reader a glimpse into the shared struggles that those with health conditions (that continue to rise across the world) share. Please include the condition you have.
Literary Luminations
Speak to us about what the literary world/ community means to you. How has the literary world changed? Have you had experiences that you would like to share with the community? Talk to us about your writerly life and challenges. What advice would you give younger writers? This blog is fluid and open to all forms of commentary on the literary world, from critique to the sharing of communal experiences, joys and lows. We only ask for frankness and politeness, even when writing heated perspectives.
