#23PRESS is a community publishing platform based in LS6, commissioned by LEEDS 2023 Year of Culture. We’re exploring how books get published, how audio work is created and how text-based artwork is exhibited.

Everywhere we go, people share their ideas for books we could publish. So, to capture this, we’re officially inviting people across our city-wide Leeds community to send us their ideas for books that could be published.

We want to collect all these ideas and put them into a book, an anthology of ideas! 

So, tell us…

Leeds label and development organisation Come Play With Me have reopened submissions to artists, aiming to platform a new selection of artists and bands as part of their mission to showcase, support and develop the incredible emerging talent across the region. The call out is the latest in their search for exciting new releases from the Yorkshire region. 

A partnership of colleagues from Culture, Active Leeds and Public Health in Leeds City Council has secured funding of £4,000 to deliver a project which will bring benefits to the city in terms of increasing levels of physical activity, promoting walking routes in areas including Chapeltown and Harehills, celebrating a Leeds cultural phenomenon, and developing a range of products to embed and showcase intergenerational story-telling.
