Willard & Maple

Description

Willard & Maple is the oldest running student publication on campus. Champlain’s student-run literary magazine, publishes annual issues that feature visual art, poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction each year. Its mission is to broadcast the diverse and powerful voices in the Champlain community out to the world.

Willard & Maple is a small but mighty board of editors coming from all majors at Champlain College. We meet throughout the year to review and critique creative work submitted anonymously by other students. At the end of the year, we compile all of the edited pieces into a professionally printed and published literary and fine arts magazine.

Willard & Maple accepts submissions from the Champlain community. Guidelines for submissions are on its website, as is a link to W&M’s Submittable page. Willard & Maple staff engage in a democratic voting process to determine acceptances.

The Willard & Maple office is not a traditional college-magazine workplace. Students completely take charge of the editorial process, and the review board for submissions is entirely composed of young writers. Nobody’s here to pour coffee and punch copy.

Interested in joining? Email willardandmaple@champlain.edu —the staff is looking forward to connecting with you
