Share your Creativity

Always wanted to be a published writer? Or feature your photography and artwork in a literary journal?
New Forum, the Undergraduate Creative Writing Journal, is waiting for your submission to fill our quarterly issues (sometimes more!) with the amazing student works of UCI!

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their creative work during this difficult time. Our Fall 2020 submissions are now closed, but New Forum will be taking submissions again in the Winter.

Our past Spring 2020 Issue is currently available digitally!
