Sink Hollow Literary Magazine

About

Sink Hollow discovers and celebrates exceptional undergraduate literature and art.
We value pieces that light fires strong enough to survive a freeze. We call for works that call back, that echo, that stun, that sink inside us and stay. Whoever you are, we ask you to give us your words, your art, your passion—and in return we’ll give your piece a place to call home.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to undergraduate students.
