Dear Damsels Annual 2020

  • Bridie Wilkinson

The DD Annual 2020 is a joyous, creative, heartfelt collection of writing by women, as well as a look back over a year spent in the company of DD.

Full of personal essays, short stories, poetry and everything in between, this print issue also contains original photography and illustration. It’s our way of celebrating the Dear Damsels collective, and we hope you love reading it as much as we loved making it..

We know how important it is for emerging writers to have a publishing credit, especially women and marginalised writers. The Annual project has been running for four years, allowing us to offer a publishing opportunity to our community, as well as celebrate all that we have achieved together.

Alongside my co-founder, I project managed the collection, including a detailed marketing strategy and content marketing.
