The Women Writing Berlin Lab is celebrating its 1st birthday! It has been an amazing year full of creativity, fantastic women and cutting-edge projects. Our community grew thanks to the passion and motivation of all the women who trusted our initiatives and joined us since the very first writing lab session in July 2017. To celebrate your support and the beauty of this community, we are launching our very first publication project the Women Writing Berlin Magazine.

 

The WWBL Magazine will be a physical space for your words and your voice. We would like to collect your written works and also some other forms of art such as illustration, photography, comics and more. The call for submissions will open on July 4th, 2018 and continue until September 15th, 2018.

The theme of our first edition will be MOVEMENT. Movement as a way of living life, influencing thoughts, being moved or moving others. Movement that is physical or abstract, existential or concrete. Movement in travel, in still moments, in short or long distances. Movement as the motor of life and change.
