Babble Issue Eleven

Creative writing on the theme of 'Stories in Photographs'. Launch date: Tuesday 28 November 2023.

We are delighted to introduce the eleventh issue of our online Creative Writing magazine, Babble.

Issue Eleven focuses on the theme of 'Stories in Photographs'. They are everywhere. From the ones you carry in your wallet to those you post on Instagram, photos are the doorway to our memories. They carry meaning, emotions, and stories like no other everyday object can. Babble’s theme this issue is: 'Stories in Photographs'.

The issue features 27 contributions from students across our European languages.

BABBLE Introduction

About Babble

Babble is a Creative Writing magazine for students in European Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh.

We’re an online magazine, a creative space for you to practise your target language(s) and receive useful feedback and guidance on your work, whether that’s prose, drama, poetry or reviews.

We want to showcase what you’re good at, grow our sense of community, and promote multilingualism.

The first issue of Babble was supported by alumni and friends of the University of Edinburgh through an Innovation Initiative Grant. In March 2021, Issue Six's editorial committee was nominated for The Dean of Students Award for Contribution to Student Experience in the CAHSS Recognition Awards.

Babble is perhaps the finest symbol of our efforts to make DELC a welcoming, collaborative and encouraging community of linguists, whatever language they practise.
