The Interviews

This is Ulverston is a collection of portraits and interviews featuring the residents of Ulverston UK. The format is long form journalism alongside silvertone portraiture.

We feature Ulverston locals and ask them about their lives and businesses. Anyone can put themselves or others forward and we also approach people we think would make an interesting read. Most people are more interesting than they may realise – so this is far from exclusive! We started with family, friends and recommendations.

All interviews have to take place in level access locations and are paced at an hour maximum.

A quick note : Our house rules are very simple – anything positive that is part of a solution is welcome here. We don’t take part in any social media projects or collaborations except to feature our publication. This is not personal it just keeps our goals and focus simple.

Working in long form we can achieve a personal and in depth profile of a person and their life or work in a way that other forms of journalism sometimes cannot. This is the reason why we do not film the interviews or broadcast them. Your interview will be recorded as an audio file, transcribed and published alongside a black and white portrait of yourself which we will take at the interview. That’s it!

This is Ulverston remains neutral on politics, religion and any other divisive topic. Our focus is on people, their stories, their lives and their contributions or links to Ulverston. The only requirement for feature is that they either live or work in the town and are over 18 years of age.

If you would like to be featured please visit our contact page – there is only one of us vs thousands of Ulverston people so it may take a while to get back to you, but we will!

Socials

We don’t have a lot of time for social media to us it is one big circus styled treadmill but we will update our Facebook page, Bluesky, X and our Instagram profile when we have new content on site.
