– Editors

At the end of this strange and complicated year, the Drawing Matter editors have invited the winners of our Writing Prize to help us reflect on the new writing published on drawingmatter.org since January 2020. We gave them the challenge of choosing just twelve of the 150 texts that we’ve published this year, below is their selection. 

The editors would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the website and to Drawing Matter’s other projects. We look forward to further growing the website as a resource in 2021, and there are already a number of exciting texts waiting in the wings for publication in the New Year!
