Babble Issue Twelve
Creative writing on the theme of 'Play'. Launch date: Tuesday 2 April 2024.
We are delighted to introduce the twelfth issue of our online Creative Writing magazine, Babble.
Issue Twelve focuses on the theme of 'Play'. With the Paris Olympic Games around the corner, it seemed an obvious theme for the new semester. Not only is it topical, but it gave our writers the scope they needed to interpret it in their own particular way. How did they play with the words this time? A fiction piece about sport? Or music? A childhood game? Maybe a theatre piece? Or a poem made of puns? You'll have to read it to find out.
The issue features 27 contributions from students across our European languages.

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.
