*tba presents: Laura

 

  1. Who are you/ what do you do?

My name is Laura and I am 20 years old. I’m in my second term in English Literature Studies and Media/cCommunication at the University of Hamburg.

  1. What or who inspired you to start writing?

I’ve always loved reading and during my year abroad in Brighton (England) I discovered my passion for English Literature. I then heard of the student magazine *tba during the first weeks as a freshman and I thought: why not give it a try and write something myself?

  1. What is your favourite genre to write in/ topic to write about?

I have never really written anything in an artsy way so I first started writing recipes, reviews of cafés or restaurants and events. I really enjoyed the satisfaction of finishing a piece and eventually publishing it on our website. I love the feeling of producing a text, playing with words and trying to perfect my work. Although I am far from perfection I tried to take it a step further and challenge myself by writing something more creative. So a couple of weeks ago I wrote my first ever poem and I am currently working on a short story.

  1. How did you get into *tba?

As I said I discovered *tba in my first week as a freshman and, if I remember correctly, it was Marc Liam (the original founder of this wonderful website, e.n. Maria 😉 ) who handed out a list where you could note down your email address if you were interested in writing for our student magazine. I now think that *tba is a great opportunity for everyone who wants to experience writing own pieces, organising our website and events like *tba presents. I really enjoy working with all our team mates and having no limits regarding content or form. This freedom allows me to find my own style and that´s what I appreciate the most about *tba.

  1. Tell us one random fact about you:

I love wearing statement earrings!

Maria puts pen to paper about this whirlwind year.

holly, jolly book recs for the holidays

This time around Robin, award-winning literature critic, is not here to rant but to be wholesome. He talks about books he has enjoyed throughout this impossible year. Books you might be interested in yourself or feel like gifting to your co-worker Bethany. Robin also talks about being quirky and his only interest at this point, which sadly enough is Star Wars.
