TheFLR. The Florentine Literary Review is looking for a talented illustrator to add shade and shape to its second issue.
The bilingual literary magazine’s editorial board is putting the finishing touches to its selection of short story authors and poets who will delight the pages of the second edition of the publication, but we’re still missing a key component. The illustrator of TheFLR will be a central character, an author in his or her own right, whose pen or pencil will etch the diverse stories of the magazine according to his or her personal style and own take on the theme of Desire/Desiderio.
Issue One of The FLR launched in October 2017 thanks to a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and was met with critical acclaim on Italy’s independent publishing and literary scene. Get your copy here.
