Covert: a new literary magazine showcasing Black, Asian and ethnically diverse writers and artists

Writing Our Legacy, in association with New Writing South, has announced the launch of the first edition of Covert – a literary magazine showcasing the talent of Black, Asian and ethnically diverse writers and artists.

The magazine primarily showcases original writing and art by people from or with links to Sussex. The theme for the inaugural edition is Sussex Fortuneteller: What Do Writers See in the Future?

Fifteen writers and six artists have been selected to feature in the magazine. Guest Editors Dean Atta and Umi Sinha, who supported the magazine editorial team, have provided mentoring and editorial direction for the development of their work.

Covert launches on Saturday, December 5 at Writing Our Legacy’s end of season online celebration event, which will feature live music and readings from writers and artists of colour.
