Nahaufnahme

For over thirty years, the Treffen junger Autor*innen has honored exceptional writing talents between the ages of 11 and 21, who are selected by a jury from a large number of applications. Often, an awareness of the possibilities of language as well as an eagerness to experiment with it are already apparent here, which often leads to the young talents choosing writing in the most diverse forms as a professional perspective. The chronicle of the meeting of young authors lists several authors whose texts and books have been published by renowned publishing houses.

They are working on their first major writing projects and publish in anthologies, magazines and on the Internet. The goal of Nahaufnahme is to encourage the young authors in their writing and on their way to a professional writing career.

At Nahaufnahme, they work with experienced authors on their own texts and exchange personal perspectives and experiences in the writing process.

As part of the international literature festival berlin, the five young female authors of the seventh year of Nahaufnahme were invited to a roundtable discussion moderated by Rike Scheffler.

In addition, the young authors took part in a one-day writing workshop with Rike Scheffler.
