Hey guys! My friend Ellis is running an amazing student-led magazine called Creative Bastards.

I am helping a small bit, as are a few of our other wonderful University friends and coursemates, but it's mainly Ellis doing it all.

We could really use your support - submissions closed in July, and Ellis is hoping that the first issue will be ready to come out later this year. Please spread the word, particularly people in the UK (and in particular anyone from Nottingham or anywhere in the East Midlands), to let other people know about this up-and-coming creative writing magazine!

You can interact with us on our Tumblr (@creativebastardsmagazine), our Twitter, or our Instagram - just click on the links!

We appreciate any support you can give us!

Thank you. x

Hi Tumblr!🤗 This is the official blog of a student-run magazine, that's based in Nottingham in the UK, called Creative Bastards.

Our magazine is aiming to showcase a range of creative work from comics and illustrations to short stories and poetry, and we are specifically hoping to showcase student creators, authors in particular.

This is a passion project, coming from the mind of an Under-graduate Creative Writing student, who has enlisted some fellow Creative Writers (and friends) to help them.

Primarily, there are two of us running things - me, Rebecca, who will mainly be running this blog and the Twitter page, as well as doing the admin - and Ellis, who is the Editor-In-Chief and runs the Instagram as well. This is a project we are running in our spare time, so posting will be irregular.

However, we hope to have our first issue printed, and to launch in October this year! Hope to see some interest, especially from writers!

I would just like to say thank you to all our wonderful contributors to our first issue of Creative Bastards Magazine!

I have had the pleasure of being able to read through and admire all of the pieces Ellis has chosen for this magazine, and they are all wonderful! Thank you for sending in work and allowing us to showcase it in our brand-new magazine!

I hope that when the magazine comes out you all have a look because we have some absolutely brilliant work from some wonderful people, some of whom are close friends and course mates of mine! I am so proud of all our contributors, and I know Ellis is too.

Thank you everyone for your amazing work!

Please check out the magazine when it launches - a launch event is being planned as I write this, and Ellis wishes to make this accessible to everyone. I'll make a post when we have a date for launch and release!

Hello all! I'm very excited to be able to share with you a draft of our cover, for the first issue, which is currently in production!

I hope you love it as much as I do, though currently it's being updated to look even better on the final product.

Please let us know what you think (though hateful comments will be deleted) and come and say hi!

Hi all! Just here to drop by and showcase our new logo designs, made by the incredible Ellis, the Editor in Chief and creator of this magazine!

Please, show us some love, we really need it! You can come talk to us here or on Twitter or Instagram!
