The Knudepunkt book 2027, for now called “Together Tomorrow”, will center hope, bridge building and community through new, young and experienced voices. Mind you, when we write ‘book’ we do not yet know what form or format it will take, instead we kick off the book project with two open brainstorming workshops in order to explore and collect ideas.

We would like to invite you to join the Knudepunkt book team 2027. You don't need to have experience or commit to a year's worth of work to be part of our book project. There are several ways to join the process as brainstormers, content creators, mentors, proofreaders, designers etc. See how in the section “Join us” below.

'''Why join?'''

The book is a great way to contribute to and engage with the long standing tradition of the Knutepunkt publications. It's a place where you can be a part of the Knutepunkt discourse - even if you can't physically be present at the conference. You can be anywhere in the world, part of any culture, be a larp practitioner or an academic, be completely new to writing articles, be a seasoned editor, be really good at supporting others and so much more.

No matter the format, the physical version of the knutepunkt book 2027 will be available as a preorder (pickup at KP27 only). The books will, per tradition, be available for free after KP.

'''The types of roles the book will need are:'''

* '''Creators:''' ''Authors and makers of other original content''. You are the fertile soil, the foundation and the building blocks, who create the contents of the book. This work will be late summer, autumn and winter.

* '''Mentors:''' You are the guides and sparring partners of the creators, new and seasoned alike. This work will mainly be autumn and winter.

* '''Builders:''' ''Editors, Graphics designers, illustrators.'' You are wielders of glue, piecing together the book and contents into a cohesive body of work. This work will mainly be through autumn, winter and spring - design and illustration winter and spring.

* '''Finishers:''' ''On call editors, proofreaders, visual proofreaders.'' You are the fresh eyes when all the rest of the contributors have gone blind. You pull the contents over the finishing line. This work will mainly be in winter and the following spring.

* '''Community hosts:''' You are the social glue, who support the creative process by keeping the discord alive and a good place for our ideas and work to flourish. This work will be through autumn, winter and possibly include spring.

= Current schedule (last updated 28-04-2026) =

'''May and June'''

* ''Collection of ideas:'' Brainstorms, workshops and ideas are collected. We invite all of you to a workshop in mid May and one in mid June.

'''July and August'''

* ''Open call July and August:'' We will send calls out late June, both through this mail, on Discord, on Facebook and on our Wikipedia page.
* ''Mentor sessions:'' We will offer a 1:1 session to talk through your pitch ideas, thoughts and if you have any doubts or worries about your idea and writing.

'''September and October'''

* ''Pitches:'' We will close the open call. We will write to those whose content has been selected for the project (how many depends on the format we chose in May-June).

* ''First and second draft:'' KP27 is early in the year and our entire process will be tight. For us to make it in time, write and deliver as soon as possible. Remember we, the editors and mentors are here to help you cross the finish line.

'''October and November'''

* ''Proofreaders:'' Kick off in mid October and work will run through until December.
* ''Designers'': Will work through mid November and December.

'''December and January'''

* ''Layouters''''':''' Will work through mid December to mid January.
* ''Proofreaders design and layout:'' Will look through the content through mid to the end of January.

You can read here who has contributed with what:

'''Idea sharing:''' Numerous participants at Knutpunkt 2026 (Sweden) that used the physical or/and digital board, talked with us and each other about the possibilities, wrote to us etc.

= Previously Progress =
'''Workshop: Possible Futures'''

May 13th, 2026, 19-20.30, Discord. ''Participants:'' Christian Pospisil, Heidi Bjørge Gravalid, Jeff Mann, Juhana Pettersson, Kirsten van Werven, Laura Nemeth, Rasmus Fægri, Sandy Bailly and Sophie Green. ''Facilitators:'' Frederikke Høyer & Anne Grove.

'''The birth of the book'''

Anne Grove and Frederikke S. B. Høyer are behind this book's broad idea of bringing it out to more of the community (when ‘we’ are used, it refers to these two). Officially, this process started at [[Knutpunkt 2026]] where a physical ideaboard was hung up as well as a digital one was shared online. After the convention the notes were transferred into the digital board, to collect all in one place. The hope was to open up the process and invite people in.

Therefore, we gave a talk at Nordic Larp Talks, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM7Zf2MLFb4

We also gave a 2 minute lightning talk at Knutpunkt on how to get involved. This was not recorded.
