Writer's Block Magazine

Who are we?

Writer’s Block is a students’ magazine for literature, film and creative writing, settled in Amsterdam, affiliated with the University of Amsterdam and its English department. The entire organization is non-profit and is run by students, and we strive to produce a qualitatively high-standing, free magazine four times per year. Writer’s Block has grown above and beyond a local student magazine, and currently sports a great variety of readers from all over the world, both students and non-students alike.

Who are our readers?

Writer’s Block is mostly targeted at students from Amsterdam: the physical magazine is currently only distributed in several university locations, students are the ones who typically send in submissions, and they tend to be the most engaged readers, as evidenced by the demographics of our followers on social media. In general, our readers tend to have a pronounced interest in reading and writing, as this comprises the majority of our content. The magazine currently has a print run of 300 copies per issue. The magazine is also made available on our website (writersblockmagazine.com) several days after the initial release.
