Writers Magazine

About the Journal

Writers Literary and Arts Magazine is the University of Portland's biannual publication of written and visual works. It offers students the opportunity to showcase their creative endeavors, and gives editors the challenge of selecting works representative of the community's collective culture. Writers offers all those at the University of Portland and around us a glimpse into our campus' imaginative resources.

The university's literary magazine has existed since 1936 under a variety of names: The Sextant (1936-1941), The Preface (1941-1968), Dedalus (1968-1977), and finally Writers (1977-today). With guidance from a faculty advisor and support from the English Department, the magazine is run by and for students.
