About Glyph. Magazine.
GLYPH. is an independent online literary magazine and writer’s hub for the casual writer. The inaugural issue of our lit mag, Glyph. Magazine, was published on 02.02.24.
Our team met whilst studying master’s degrees in Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde and have stayed pals ever since. Even though we’re all based in Glasgow, we aim to encourage writers from all backgrounds to create the work that brings them joy – be it Fantasy, Literary Fiction, Crime or Science Fiction – and offer them the chance to receive feedback, and be published alongside their peers. Since completing our master’s degrees, we’ve realised that writing doesn’t need to be a solitary task, and actually, it’s so much more enjoyable when you’re part of a writing community. We’d like to extend our little writing group to others who want to be part of that too.
A glyph is any kind of purposeful mark, and we think writers from all disciplines can make their mark in the literary world with whatever they’re truly passionate about writing, however frequently or infrequently they choose to write.
GLYPH. also offers the chance to meet with and discuss your work with other writers, from online catch-ups to in-person writing sessions.
Meet the Team
Rach
Editor/Social Media
Rach is a writer with a love for mythology, fantasy and cosy romance. Always on the hunt for her next book boyfriend, you can usually find her surviving on caffeine, up a big hill or hunting for fairies at the bottom of her garden.
Nicola
Editor
Nicola lives and writes in rural South Lanarkshire. She likes unusual stories about bodies and transformation and what it means to be alive at the same time as other humans. Her writing has appeared in Gutter 27 and New Writing Scotland 42.
Gio
Editor
Giovanni is a German-Italian writer who abandoned both of his native languages to write in what’s left of the King’s English. His prose and poetry are influenced by the shockingly mundane experiences and encounters he made while meandering across the globe.
Eleanor
Editor/Graphic Designer
Eleanor is a writer who switches literary genre as frequently as she changes her hair colour (read: often). Currently—though for how long we’re not sure—she’s trying to write the perfect villain and is meticulously plotting novels with colour-coded post-it notes.
Sofia
Editor/Web Editor
Sofia is a Spanish writer who finds being bilingual means struggling both in Spanish and English. Obsessed with commas and emotionally unavailable characters, she finds inspiration for her writing in her daily battles against energy companies, spiders, and heights.
Loki
Cat
GLYPH’s team mascot.
