Welcome to Dundee Writes!
Dundee Writes is a little magazine of creative writing from students, staff and recent graduates of the University of Dundee. It is produced and edited by postgraduates on the MLitt in Writing Practice and Study, part of the University of Dundee’s Creative Writing Programme in the School of Humanities. Dundee Writes is distributed not only throughout Dundee but across Scotland, with copies held at the National Library in Edinburgh. Electronic copies are permanently available here, on our ‘Read Online’ page.
We accept submissions at any time, but you can keep up-to-date with deadlines for each issue, news, and events by joining our mailing list.
The University of Dundee offers evening classes in creative writing and courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level. However, you don’t have to be taking classes to enjoy Dundee Writes or the many exciting literary events in and around Dundee. Visit our ‘Links’ page for more information on classes, events, and groups open to all.
