The IEAS Literary Journal is composed of a
team of IEAS student editors (BA, Lehramt, and MA) who select, edit, and
develop at least one annual issue of English-language creative writing by our
students. IEAS BA/Lehramt students can apply to be an editor starting in their
third semester; MA students are welcome to apply at any time.
Becoming a Journal
Editor – Why You Should Do It, and How:
BA AS and ES students may receive up to three extracurricular credit points in
total for their participation (2 CPs as an editor/3 CPs as an editor-in-chief; please
consult your study plan for further information). Lehramt students do
not receive credit points for participation, but they gain valuable experience
in developing and managing student-based writing publications.
Applicants do not need
prior editorial experience, just the desire to develop different types of
texts, work with student authors, and support the editorial team in creating a
publication. As an editor you must be able attending meetings, communicate in a
clear and professional manner, and engage in detailed discussions about
editorial matters.
Ideal applicants love writing, writers, and learning more about how words
create narratives; they are also open to discussion and differences in
perspective, manage deadlines responsibly, and can work independently as well
as in a team.
Note: As an editor, you
agree to be part of the editing team for an entire volume; this in a one-year
commitment).
Editorial applications are accepted annually from October 1st to March
1st.
To apply, send an email to ieasliteraryjournal@gmail.com with
a brief cover letter explaining who you are and specifically why you are
interested in joining the editorial team.
