Champlain’s student-run literary magazine, publishes annual issues that feature visual art, poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction each year.

Willard & Maple accepts submissions from the Champlain community. Guidelines for submissions are on its website, as is a link to W&M’s Submittable page. Willard & Maple staff engage in a democratic voting process to determine acceptances.

The Willard & Maple office is not a traditional college-magazine workplace. Students completely take charge of the editorial process, and the review board for submissions is entirely composed of young writers. Nobody’s here to pour coffee and punch copy.

Interested in joining? Email willardandmaple@champlain.edu —the staff is looking forward to connecting with you
