Studio work
Reading-room preview
An hour in the Wentworth reading room with the current origin issue on the board, before the drop closes.
Who it is for
People who want to read the sequential pages on paper before reserving a number.
What you leave with
You will have turned every page of the current origin issue and know whether the recap box and closing splash earn the allocation.
Scope
The issue on the board that week. Not the full back catalogue.
Included
- A printed dummy of the current origin issue
- Tea or coffee
- Time with the drop editor if the issue is still open
Not included
- Removal of the dummy from the room
- Photography of unpublished pages without permission
How the work proceeds
- Reserve a chair.
- Read.
- Stay to allocate, or leave the dummy on the board.
Before you write
Arrive with clean hands; we provide cotton corners for the dummy.
Limits we will not stretch
Two chairs at a time. Children are welcome if a parent is reading with them; the current origin issue is written for adult collectors.
