That is why we invite all students who write literary texts to present them in our projects, to develop them further and to network with others. You can find information about our offers here and current events in our event calendar. If you want to stay informed about upcoming literature events and calls, then subscribe to our literature newsletter, which we send at irregular intervals:
Lies los!
Lies los! offers student authors and listeners a "safe space" in which a fair and respectful framework for exchange, feedback and networking is created. Students who write can read their texts aloud, others listen.
Berlin Stories
With the first student writer-in-residence project Berlin Stories we want to capture the specific perspective of Berlin students on their city over a longer period of time. Each year, a new city writer is selected by an jury. Their texts can be found on our Berlin Stories Blog.
The writers-in-residence 2022 are Paula van Well and Elisabeth Pape.

TextTransit
The writing group "TextTransit" is intercultural and multilingual, i. e. it is aimed at authors or students who are interested in writing, who speak and write in other languages or who, as non-native speakers, want to write their literary texts in German.
A new application for the group is possible before the start of every semester via our event calendar.

Book club on the topics: Antiracism, Feminism and Intersectionality
Based on current books, the book club is intended to become a safe space for exchange, debate and self-reflection.
Literature Anthology
"In der Weserstraße sonnt sich ein Haus. Literaturanthologie mit Texten studentischer Autor*innen"
In January 2021 the first literature anthology of the studierendenWERK BERLIN is published! It contains texts from all literary projects of the Office Culture & International Affairs. The anthology covers the period from 2018-2020 and thus the creative period of our three Berlin Stories authors.
If you would like to receive a free copy, please contact us (NB: Most of the texts are in German): Kultur@stw.berlin
Networking spaces

We create networking spaces. This means that students who participate in one project can and should also get to know the participants of the other literary projects. In this way, new inspirations arise and author networks can be created.
