Literary Contest for New Voices!

I’m on the staff of Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art, which continues to be one of the few national literary journals entirely edited, designed, and produced entirely by students. Authors that have been featured in past issues of the journal include Raymond Carver, Jorge Luis Borges, Philip Gourevitch, Lydia Davis, Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky, Phillip Lopate, Ha Jin, Jonathan Lethem, Italo Calvino, John D’Agata, Jack Pierson, Sam Lipsyte, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Safran Foer, Wayne Koestenbaum, Deb Olin Unferth, Timothy Liu, and Etgar Keret.

We’re running our annual poetry/fiction/nonfiction contest, so spread the work and enter your writing!
