ABOUT US
We are interested in creating a dynamic, collaborative work environment for creative writers at Duke. Current outlets for creative writing tend to be centered on a linear process in which one submits work to a publication with minimal opportunities to corroborate and discuss one's pieces with others.
Our project consists of two components. The first is a user-friendly website where we publish everything that is submitted and other users provide feedback and critique. The second component of our project consists of regular social events where writers can share their inspiration and ideas, e.g. poetry circles, film screenings, open mic nights, writing workshops, etc. At the end of the year, we plan to compile our best works into a print publication.
At Duke, creative writers are considered to be solitary creatures who tend to work in isolation; we strive to break that stereotype.
