Welcome to The Knot's page!

Who are we?
The Knot is a community focused online forum for creative minds.

We live in a competitive society, where creative jobs are few and far between without connections. Let us be that connection. We aim to help local people get their work published whilst simultaneously challenging preconceptions about Nottingham. We want our city to be known for its creativity, not its knife crime stats. ​

Photographers, writers, illustrators, rappers. We welcome you all.

Please get in touch through our page or at [email protected] if you wish to be considered for the December edition (deadline 15th December).
