Not sure what we’re looking for? 

Want some inspiration? 

Longing to read stories that stir your soul and make you want to:

  • get your placards out

  • start guerrilla gardening,

  • write to your political leaders

  • just put some love , kindness and support out into the world to balance things out?

Look no further …

Here’s some resistance writing we love …

… and recommendations from our most rebellious, radical and righteous friends …

… previously published stories and articles in which resistance definitely isn't futile …

… and some real-life stories where people have refused to accept the status quo.

We'd love to add to this page so if you know of any similarly inspiring stories or writing advice send us an email with a link we can add here

Many thanks to Anika Carpenter, Sumitra Sangham and Sarah Royston for helping us find our first batch of stories in which Resistance Isn’t Futile.

An extra big thank you to Writer’s HQ for organising the Writing As Resistance Festival which inspired this whole edition and endeavour.

You can find a whole selection of WHQ-selected feisty stories here
