Want to help shape the future of the Lapidus Magazine?

We’re hosting a friendly, informal open meeting for anyone curious about becoming a co-editor. This is an opportunity to find out what the role involves, how the editorial process works, and how you might contribute your skills, ideas, and perspective.

Whether you’re an experienced editor, a regular reader, or simply someone who cares about the magazine and the community it represents, you’re very welcome to join. We’ll share an overview of the role, what support is available, and the level of commitment involved, as well as hearing from those who have already expressed interest. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, explore possibilities, and decide whether this could be a good fit for you.

This is a no-pressure space to learn more, connect with others, and consider how you might get involved in shaping the next chapter of the magazine.

About the Lapidus Magazine

The Lapidus Magazine is our members’ publication, and showcases writing, ideas, and reflections from across the Lapidus community. It provides a space for thoughtful exploration of writing for wellbeing, creativity, and personal development, highlighting the diverse voices, experiences, and practices of its members.

As well as sharing articles, creative work, and insights, the Magazine helps foster connection within the community and supports the organisation’s wider mission. It offers contributors an opportunity to be published and heard, while giving readers access to rich, engaging content that reflects the breadth of work happening across Lapidus.

Co-editors play a key role in shaping each issue—working collaboratively to commission and select pieces, support contributors, and bring the publication together. It’s a chance to influence the direction of the magazine, nurture emerging voices, and contribute to a meaningful, creative project at the heart of the community.

What is writing now?

In this session, we will explore different forms of writing and what we think writing is ‘for’ in today’s conditions. We are in a ‘digital age’ (some would say) and an era of change, challenge and climate crisis. How do these environmental factors influence what and how we write, and what we understand to be ‘writing’? Fiona will show a poem-film touching on these themes to stimulate our conversation.
