A number of prominent authors have each donated a text to the street newspapers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, which they will be allowed to print over the next six months. The majority of the texts are previously unpublished. Martin Suter, Daniel Glattauer, Siegfried Lenz, Ingrid Noll, Feridun Zaimoglu, Juli Zeh, Marlene Streeruwitz, Arno Geiger - they and many other writers are taking part in the street magazine project.
"We are thrilled and surprised at how many top-class writers immediately agreed to support us with a story," said Beatrice Gerst from Stuttgart, coordinator of the German-language platform of the INSP (International Street Newspaper Network).
With this first joint campaign, the German-language street newspaper projects want to raise awareness of their work. The 30 street newspaper projects in the three countries have a total circulation of up to 500,000 copies.
