Launched in December 2007.

  • The Journal of Writing in Creative Practice (JWCP) is the official organ of the Writing Purposefully in Art and Design (Writing PAD) network. It offers art and design institutions an arena in which to explore and develop the notion of thinking through writing as a parallel to visual discourse in art and design practice. The journal aims to extend the debates to all national and international higher educational art and design institutions.

Call for Papers

We will publish 1 volume each year which consists of 3 issues (usually January/April/November). We are always looking for new submissions. However, the next series of volumes (until 2015) will be guest edited by the Writing PAD Centres.


Forthcoming Calls:

We are aiming to have a big Writing-PAD conference in 2017 to celebrate 10 years since the foundation of the JWCP and 15 years of the Writing-PAD Network. This will be a chance to reflect and respond to changes but also to look to future possibilities. If you are interested in hosting such an event please let us know.

The context was based around the questions put forward before the roundtable and key note presentation. As some practical pieces were presented, there are papers based on the area of language-driven mediated practice-led research.
