We are collecting stories for a book all about the joys and hazards of squatting in Britain. No matter how long you've squatted you're bound to have a tale or two to inspire and entertain the rest of us.
We are collecting stories for a book all about the joys and hazards of squatting. No matter how long you've squatted you're bound to have a tale or two to inspire and entertain the rest of us. We're looking for stories from current and former British squatters that fit into the following categories:
Just Do It?: Why you decided to squat.
Getting In and Not Getting In: All about getting over the fence, through the window and past the front door. Or not as the case may be...
The First Night: Getting acquainted with your new home.
Classic squats: The best and worst places you lived.
Neighbours From Hull: Good and bad experiences with the locals.
Troublemaking: Squatted social centres, squatters groups, actions and campaigns.
The Cooking Rota: The joys of everyday squatting.
Musical Adventures: Raves, squatted venues, free festivals, bands and more.
Having Your Day In Court: Navigating the legal system and facing the magistrate.
Getting Evicted: Best and worst evictions.
Not Getting Evicted: Successful cases and obtaining ownership.
Things That Were Left Behind: Stuff that was stolen from you or you that abandoned as well as things you found.
Send your recollections and pictures to myk@zeitlin.freeserve.co.uk or questionmarks01@yahoo.co.uk
We will be posting up sample stories and photos on the website from August on.
Any profits made from the eventual publication will be donated to the Advisory Service for Squatters.
