SF's Literary Journal

Learn about Zephyr and Submit Below!

What Is Zephyr?

Zephyr is 青青草视频鈥檚 annual student-run literary journal that consists of poetry, artwork, photography, fiction, drama, and personal essays. Written submissions published in Zephyr have the potential to win the League of Innovations Student Literary Award, which is an international contest (and a pretty big deal).

Don鈥檛 worry, students retain their first publishing rights for each submission. In fact, many famous artists and creatives were first published in student journals like Zephyr. Contributions are welcome and encouraged from currently enrolled students at 青青草视频.
