The Mod spirit isn't just seen and heard, it’s written, spoken, and felt through words that challenge, inspire, and express.
At The Mod Factory, we celebrate the power of writing as a core part of Mod culture’s artistic energy.
​
From the introspective poetry of post-war Britain to the rebellious voices of 1960s youth, the Mod movement has always embraced literature, journals, underground publications, and sharp, thought-provoking writing.
We’re carrying that tradition forward, creating a space where writers, poets, and readers can connect, collaborate, and create.
