Creative Writing
Share your literary genius.
Submit your creative works of fiction, poetry, non-fiction and art for juried publication in Paddlefish, a literary journal written and edited by our students and faculty. The entire Mount Marty community is invited to share ideas, prose and points of view in the annual magazine, bringing together an eclectic, tangible collection of our liberal arts education. Better still, work as an editorial assistant for the journal. You’ll be involved in every step of the selection, editing, and publishing process. You’ll also have opportunities to meet and discuss the craft of writing with award-winning authors through the Great Plains Writers’ Tour.
