Publish and Read Your Work
There are a number of opportunities for you to read or publish your work.
Armstrong Writers Collective (AWC)
Our Purpose
To foster and support writers in the Armstrong community by conducting writing workshops; notifying members about community-sponsored writing events; organizing writing lessons and seminars for members; conducting at least one writing prompt activity and/or workshop activity per meeting; supporting member participation in all areas of writing; and continuing writing growth through newly discovered methods.
Membership Requirements

Calliope, a literary and artistic journal
Calliope is a literary and artistic journal that offers a great opportunity for students to get published and share their creative work with fellow students, faculty, and potential employers. Originally founded at Armstrong over 30 years ago, Calliope showcases the best that our student’s literary and artistic minds have to offer.
Are you a writer or an artist? Submit your original work(s) of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, art or photography for your chance to be published in the literary and artistic journal Calliope. All entries will be reviewed by a group of your peers and considered for publication.
The best works from the categories of fiction, poetry, and art will be honored with the Lillian Spencer Award and a cash prize.
Direct all inquiries, questions, and comments to the faculty advisor Dr. Robert Terry (rterry@georgiasouthern.edu).
