about us
WHAT ARE WE?
stargazer is a magazine that began life as a student project – courtesy of the creative writing society at our university. Now that we’ve graduated, we’re looking at continuing to produce issues – both in print and online.
This is a real passion project for us – we aren’t backed by any sort of funding, every penny we make selling copies goes into printing the next issue. Going forward, we aren’t sure how frequently issues will be released due to our other commitments, but we’re aiming to do a couple a year.
We want to print exciting new work, the sort of pieces that we want to read – stuff that makes you think, unsettles you, raises questions, sticks with you for days.
meet the team
Emmy is the editor in chief at stargazer, and takes her role maybe a little too seriously. She loves weird fiction, fun little drinks, Getting Her Steps In, wearing excessive amounts of jewellery, and the tv show Yellowjackets. She can often be found getting a bagel, or bringing cannibalism and/or Buffy into every conversation.
David is an editor on the stargazer team. He likes Merlin (2008-2012), Richard Curtis films, Garfield, heavy metal and punk music, and bleaching his hair. He can usually be found running a joke into the ground, or cutting holes into his clothes.
Alice is an editor on the stargazer team and the most likely to go ghost mode.
She loves cute stationery, happy hour, chatting shit and her car (she is the only one who can drive). She can often be found grabbing a cheeky pint or somehow being on holiday.
Ellis is an editor on the stargazer team and a huge fan of weird and surrealist work. He also loves history, candles, comics, crunchy foods, and having a drink at the pub with his friends. He can often be found grabbing a very chocolatey drink from Costa, or trying to resist the urge to get a very chocolatey drink from Costa.
Callum is an editor on the stargazer team and and is universally terrible with money. He loves being antisocial, slocky reality TV, every dog there’s ever been and will be, the colour purple and The House of Black (wrestling). He can often be found watching wrestling at the stupid hours, or having a deeply concerning fear of peacocks.
