UEA New Writing Lab, vol. 1, no. 1
This issue of New Writing Lab shows how the current website could work in Manifold, with regular issues of a journal. Harriet is uploading content to this Issue in parallel with adding it to the NewWriting.net site, as a trial.
What would NewWriting.net look like as a Manifold Issue?
How easily does material from Word documents transfer onto the system?
How well does this work for the range of poetry, prose and scripts that are created by UEA writers?
This issue is designed to be more brightly coloured than issue 2.

'Ian Hamilton Finlay And Space' by Harriet TruscottThis demonstrates a long Word document with sections and images, and how easily this can be imported into Manifold.
Nothing was done to this Word document except to upload it straight into Manifold. The images and endnotes all seem to be working without issue.

Two new poems by Jake ReynoldsThis shows standardly formatted poems imported from a Word document, and looking wrong.
This week I’m sharing two poems by Jake Reynolds, taken from his upcoming pamphlet We Both Say. There were so many poems in this pamphlet I wanted to feature here, but ultimately that opening statement ‘We need more flexible aubades’ seemed to be at the heart of the pamphlet.
We Both Say will be coming out in May 2026 from the small poetry press Broken Sleep Books. Broken Sleep is doing an impressive job in bringing outstanding poetry to new readers, and were the well-deserved winners of the Michael Marks Publishers’ Award. If you don’t already know their work, take a look.
