Tint Journal‘s editors Lisa Schantl, John Salimbene, Matthew Monroy, and Andrea Färber selected 25 texts (from more than 300 submissions) for this 10th issue. This time, the authors’ geographical backgrounds range from Namibia to Belgium, and from India to Mexico, with most texts dealing with an individual’s position on this planet, considering the peculiarities of culture, geography, food, history, and the overall circle of life. Each text contribution is published with a visual artwork by international artists (curated by Vanesa Erjavec) and a short interview with the author. Many of the texts can also be heard as audio clips, read by the writers themselves. All content from this and past issues can be read free of charge.

The online literary magazine for non-native English creative writing, Tint Journal Founder and Editor-in-Chief Lisa Schantl introduces the newest issue focusing on the English language and the roles it can play as a mode of expression both literary and political. This eighth issue of Tint Journal was thematically open and drew submissions from a broad range of geographical backgrounds, from South Africa to Germany, from Japan to Cuba, and Ukrain. “Thematically, the issue is just as diverse,” Schantl notes, “and readers will be confronted with big questions like What is home? What does freedom mean? How can peace be found? Mingled with these are texts in the style of magical realism, texts with a focus on semantics and yet other texts that tell of loss, love or nostalgic childhood memories.”
