TriQuarterly

The TriQuarterly literary magazine is made at Northwestern University by the creative writing program. It is edited by graduate students and is available all over the world.

TriQuarterly has audio, video, and uploaded contents.

TriQuarterly got its name because when it was made in 1958, Northwestern published each issue in the three academic quarters.

They welcome fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, short drama, and hybrid work. They suggest poets only submit six poems per cycle and prose authors to limit their piece to 3,500 words. They are interested in work that embraces the world and continues the ongoing global conversation about culture and society.  ( This is how TriQuarterly started as in 1964).

They only accept pieces submitted online. They do not publish creative work by current northwestern students or anyone that has graduated from the program in the last five years.

They accept submission from October 1 to July 15.

TriQuarterly is published twice a year and the blog reviews are weekly.

I watched the video essay called Grandpa by Steven Chen. It was very good and showed videos of him and his grandpas while he was talking about them in the background.
