After about half an hour a grand portcullis-like doorway between two brick towers is framed in the small window. As we enter, a [...]

Monsters to the RescueNicholas Jubber https://writersrebel.com/monsters-to-the-rescue/ Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:00:56 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6182   ‘The dragon’s coming!’ said the woman beside me. ‘It better be,’ her partner added, ‘we’ve been waiting long enough!’ Down the high street came Tradinno the Dragon, making its way through the Bavarian town of Furth im Wald. Fifteen metres long, with wings vibrating over its scaly body, it breathed out fire behind teeth [...]

Community, agency and hopeShana Sullivan, MSc https://writersrebel.com/community-agency-and-hope/ Thu, 10 Apr 2025 07:00:46 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6176 We are very glad to be able to share some extracts from the wonderful Scientists on Survival anthology. You can buy it here.   I cannot accurately recall a time when I wasn’t aware of the threat of climate change. Throughout this constant awareness, my response emotionally and materially has followed a winding path starting [...]

If They Bury Us, We Will Be SeedsAnne Enith Cooper https://writersrebel.com/if-they-bury-us/ Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:57:52 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6155   The October sky blazed blue and the sun shone on a sea of canvas pagodas in a factory car park. Over 700 people sat between banners that read: stop speculation, stop the genocide and stop arming Israel. An exhibition of Palestinian art hung from the fences. A stall offering Working Class Beer stood opposite [...]

Writing From InsideSophie Holland https://writersrebel.com/writing-from-inside/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 15:23:45 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6150   How would you spend your time if you were locked in a cell for twenty-two hours a day? Beat the walls? Learn to juggle? Yoga? Learn a language, go mad, write a memoir, cry? I have been writing to activist prisoners, most of whom are astonishingly sane and stoic. I would like to share [...]

The young god recalls what happened to her people   I was not affected yet I was scared. And it was new to me yet I’d been there before. It triggered memories. Empires rise. Empires fall. As it is on earth, so it was with the gods: even in the heavens, wisdom [...]

HERE WE GO AGAINBrianna Craft https://writersrebel.com/here-we-go-again/ Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:10:42 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6139   This blog is an excerpt from Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir, following the first election of President Trump in 2016.   I envied those with the ability to speak freely, effortlessly filling journalist’s answers to questions about the Paris Agreement with noise.  How were they not scared?  It didn’t matter how much [...]

We gathered in the village square, formed a polite circle and introduced ourselves. Many of those who turned up already knew one another, veterans of the Right to Roam campaign. Many had been involved in organizing the protests that had taken place earlier in the year against [...]

My Damascus MomentNick O'Neill https://writersrebel.com/my-damascus-moment/ Fri, 11 Oct 2024 14:21:49 +0000 https://writersrebel.com/?p=6117   The shrieking of the young woman covered in fake blood had a visceral effect on me. She’s the same age as my daughter I thought, as the TV presenter thrust her microphone into my face. Like spectators in a Roman amphitheatre watching cowering Christians, the crowd of protesters pushed forward expectantly as if sensing [...]
