Graphe, the Department of English’s Journal of Writing and Art
March 18th, 2024 update: Submissions for the 2024 edition have been extended until 11:59 pm on May 8th! Please scroll to the very bottom of this page to access the submission form - multiple submissions of any kind are welcome. Selected submitters will be notified via email by a member of our editorial board. We are also still looking for visual submissions to be featured as our cover art! The ideal cover art is an abstract piece or work that does not include a recognizable human being, and would come from a student at UIC. Any further updates will be posted here. Thank you & happy creating! We look forward to seeing your work.
