Quivira Literary Journal 2026
Ends on
Quiviria is produced annually and features work by currently enrolled ESU students. It is edited and produced by students with the help of ESU Creative Writing faculty and staff.
We practice blind judging, meaning when you send in your work our staff will remove or hide your name before it is read by a panel of judges to help us ensure that pieces are judged fairly, and to reduce the chances of favoritism or bias. Pieces are judged on the strength of the piece alone.
