A Big thanks to everyone who submitted writing to be considered for our August publication. We are looking forward to reading everything and planning our next installation.
Any work received as of this moment will now be considered for our third publication, which will run throughout September. Keep those submissions coming!
We’re proud to present our first winner for the Literature Emitting Diodes: Surabhi Kanga! Congrats, Surabhi!
Born and raised in India, Surabhi Kanga is a writer and journalist whose work deals with everything from death to deodorant. In her writing, she tries to investigate the evolution of contemporary culture, and its links to identity, politics and social justice issues. Kanga has a Masters degree in New Arts Journalism from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She also dabbles in comics, comedy and film making, and is currently based in New Delhi.
Her work will be posted in a Chicago storefront for about three weeks starting in July. Check back to find out where you can see her work on an LED screen.
We are incredibly excited and truly honored to announce that Literature Emitting Diodes has been selected for a grant from the Chicago Chapter of the Awesome Foundation.
In addition to the LED display itself, the grant will help fund the printed anthology of the writing, which will be collected and produced after 12 months.
The Awesome Foundation has also created a page for us at their website, which will be updated as the project progresses.
We are so grateful for the support from our community, and eager to share some great writing with Chicago!
Thank you to everyone who submitted work for our July issue. We are excited to read through each submission and make our final selection!
We will announce the author and location soon, so stay tuned.
Continue sending us work to be considered for August.
We understand that our submissions manager is causing trouble for some people. Until we sort out our technical difficulties, you may send us your submission materials via email to ledpublishing@gmail.com.
Due to the inconvenience we will also be considering submissions received through June 7 for the July issue.
We hope anyone who was thwarted by the submission manager will send us an email.
Attention writers: the submission period for our first issue closes tomorrow.
If you would like to see your writing on an LED display in a Chicago storefront next month, then send us your work today!
We are proud to announce that we will begin accepting submissions on May 5th, 2015.
The chosen work will be published for our inaugural installation this July.
This is an archive of the 12 Chicago installations, which comprised the first iteration of Literature Emitting Diodes.
