Advanced Creative Writing Webzine
In the Spring 2008 semester at the University of Maine, Professor Alex Irvine held an advanced creative writing seminar. Based off of Alex's idea, we decided to create a Web site with both text and audio versions of our "flash" stories.
A flash is a story written in under five hundred (500) words. You have to have a beginning, middle, and end just like any other story. It is a good way to get some writing done.
Click here to read and listen to the stories.
Other
Over the years, both undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of English have created independent literary magazines in order to expand the conversation and enrich the University of Maine writing community. Some last for only an issue, but most continue on for several, sometimes even after their editors have graduated. These include The Accompanist, Hemlock, Two Lavas, and Werewolf Glue.
