The fall edition of UP’s student-run creative writing journal Writers can be accessed at this link. Undergraduates from across campus have contributed their written and visual work to this edition, built around the theme of Eroticism. Writers magazine comes out every semester, with an online edition in fall and a print edition in spring (launched on Founders’ Day). Students interested in finding out about the magazine and submitting to the spring edition can follow this link. Additionally, if your students are interested in cultivating their practice of writing, a Writing minor is an excellent option. The minor was added last year as a way for non-English majors to have a chance to improve their technique through practice. Students in professional schools could especially benefit from this five-course addition, as precise writing becomes a badge of distinction. For details, contact English chair Lars Erik Larson, larson@up.edu.

2021 Writers Magazine Published Online
The English Department is proud to announce the publication of UP’s student-run creative writing journal Writers Magazine. This year’s all-online 2021 edition is built around the theme of “Good Bones” and gathers the year’s best writing and images by students from across campus. It’s now available here.
Additionally, we are excited to announce that beginning fall 2021, UP will offer a Writing minor. This addition will give a broader spectrum of students on The Bluff the chance to exercise their creative and communicative powers. (Students in the professional schools are especially encouraged!) The Writing minor involves a combination of workshop-style courses (playwriting, news writing, nonfiction, poetry, fiction, screenwriting) and English electives.
For details in the fall, students can contact Fr. Pat Hannon, hannon@up.edu, John McDonald, mcdonald@up.edu, or English Chair Lars Larson, larson@up.edu.
2020 “Writers” Magazine: Ready For Readers
The 2020 volume of our campus’s student-made creative writing journal, Writers magazine, made it into print just before campus shut down, according to Lars Larson, English. This year’s edition explores the theme of “Where I’m From,” beginning with a poem by Owen Klinger, and moving through stories, illustrations, verse, essays, and photographs that articulate where we find ourselves. You can find the electronic version here. Additionally, Larson would be happy to send paper copies (“we have many”) to anyone interested. Email the proper campus (or home) address to larson@up.edu.
