News – LITERASEA

Call for Cover Submissions

We are looking for (hobby) photographers!

The second issue of EUF’s own literary journal Literasea is coming in December! In order for this issue to become as big of a success as the last one, we need YOUR HELP! One of YOUR photos could be on the cover of the next Literasea!

Most importantly: The photo should fit the theme of this issue (Movement) and meet the color and quality requirements for a journal cover. Please also make sure you have all rights to the picture and the permission of all people featured in the picture (if there are any).

You can envision your photo on our cover? Send your photo to eufliteraryjournal@uni-flensburg.de and if you’re lucky we’ll choose your picture for the next issue!

Deadline: 27/10/2014

We’re looking forward to your submissions!

P.S. If your picture is not chosen for the cover, you’ll still be able to have it published here on our website and the printed issue (black & white only). If interested, feel free to already send us the black & white version as well, just in case.

Press Packs

In our next issues, students and staff from our partner universities will also have the opportunity to submit their creative work.

We just put together some press packages for our partners, including a press release, stickers, flyers for their own campuses, and a print version of issue 1!

Issue 2 is coming…

Did we just release the very first issue of Literasea? Yes.
Do we already have a theme for the second issue? Also yes!

The theme of the 2nd Issue of Literasea is Movement.

Like the waves of the ocean, the LiteraSEA is in constant motion. In an ever-changing world, movement is everywhere, whether it be of a social, cultural, political, or personal nature, in time or in space.

We are so excited and already looking forward to all your contributions. Maybe some of you already feel inspired to write or draw something during the semester break.
The submission deadline for texts and artworks is the 7 October.

Happy writing and drawing!

P.S.: If you have any further questions for submission guidelines check out our FAQs and Submission Guidelines.

Launch Party

Last Friday we launched the very first issue of Literasea and we couldn’t have had bigger smiles on our faces. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us. It was a blast!

Here are a few photos to reminisce…

Out now!

The time has finally come and we can present you the very first issue of Literasea – the new literary magazine of the Europa-Universität Flensburg. We hope you enjoy the various texts and artworks about Human Behavior which is the issue’s theme.

Over the past few months, we have worked hard to not only hold the first printed edition of Literasea in our hands but also to have a website filled with literary content as well as an Instagram account and promotional material such as posters and fun stickers. All this involved many hours of joint work, accompanied not only by laughter, but also by occasional discussions and many brainstorming sessions. There were many decisions to be made to end up with a cohesive journal.

We now hold the first issue of Literasea in our hands and couldn’t be prouder to present to you the German and English texts and the few artworks of numerous authors and artists.

Hopefully, the literary magazine will serve as a platform for creative experimentation for students and staff of the Europa-Universität Flensburg in the future.

A few words of thanks

First, we would like to thank Sibylle Machat for this project idea and her active support in all matters.

We would also like to thank Liv Hambrett for the good cooperation and her great help with the editing. Without them, the cooperation between the Creative Writing course and the Editing & Publishing project would certainly not have gone so smoothly.

Thank you to all authors and artists for submitting their texts and art- works. Their creative work is the basis of Literasea and without them, there would have been no journal to even publish.

We would also like to thank the Fördergesellschaft der Universität Flensburg for their financial support. They made it possible to advertise this journal, celebrate the launch of this first-ever issue and sell it at a low price point.
