The DD Annual 2020

Celebrate the words and stories of women with the Dear Damsels Annual 2020

Bringing together some of our favourite pieces of the past twelve months, 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.

This year, our utterly perfect cover illustration is by Alice L Clark (@alicelclark) and we’re delighted to have teamed up with Bath Spa Illustration Society (@bathspaillsoc) once again, who have provided beautiful internal illustrations. This is our biggest and best Annual yet – don’t miss it!
