Two of UVic’s student literary publications, This Side of West and The Warren, allow students to share their art and writing through annual printed issues, featuring a range of high-quality work. Beyond offering submitters a chance to publish their work and amplify their artistic voices, these campus publications create a distinct vision of community and artistic celebration rooted in student life. At campus publications, this is built into the process — accepted or not, all submissions are read by attentive staff, tasked with uplifting student voices. These publications are designed to treat all student work with utmost respect, and give them a fair chance. Campus publications are, by nature, low stakes.
