Published annually, the DD Annual is a yearly collection of women’s writing spanning essays, poetry and short stories across twelve distinct monthly themes.
What grabbed us about the 2017/18 Annual...
Twelve themes across one volume is an ambitious structure. Moving from glory to desire to curiosity gives the collection real range. The decision to source writing from its own community rather than established contributors gives it a different kind of authority.
Who’s the DD Annual for?
The DD Annual is one for when you want writing that feels genuinely communal. Each year’s edition gathers essays, poetry and short stories from women, written by and for the same readership. Original photography sits alongside the writing rather than illustrating it. This would suit you if you’re drawn to personal writing across a range of forms without a single editorial voice shaping it. Think of it as a yearly record of the female experience in its many registers. It’s one to reach for when you want to feel part of something larger than a single story.
