Information about your publication: | The subterranean literary journal is an independently published literary journal, featuring short stories, poems, autobiographies and art from creative people all over the world. It began in December 2010; created by T. E. Brierley and Liam J. Kelly, two students at university, one studying Graphic design at Huddersfield and the other fine art at Leeds Met. The journals inception was sparked off by a drunken conversation between Tom and Liam, it was one of those nights that included an insane amount of wine and a persistent need to make a lot of noise with any musical instrument we could get our hands on. We decided that we wanted to create something meaningful with the potential to help other writers, a publication where the written word and considered design and typography are held in high regard. We both felt that many publications overlook these and substitute them with sensationalised stories and we strived to create something that would inspire our readers. A non profit literary journal that aims to be self sustaining, selling for the price of costs, it is a place for undiscovered and underground writers to get there work published and hopefully receive the recognition they deserve. Although helping out writers isn’t the only intention, it is a monument to their hard work, although they understand it may remain unseen by many it is for people who are still passionate about the written word, who feel a love of literature and stories, devoid in a modern society. The journal aims to be a timeless tribute to the written word, avoiding the fleeting moments of trends and fashion, remaining date-less with each issue numbered as it is created. It explores humanity and the lives of people the world over, through fiction and non-fictional stories. Each issue is handmade and put together by the subterranean literary journal. |
