Magid Center for Writing

Our Story

Housed in the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the Frank N. Magid Center for Undergraduate Writing offers students at UI the unique opportunity to enhance their academic, creative, and professional communication skills by focusing on the written word. Home to the Undergraduate Certificate in Writing, the Literary Publishing Track and the Iowa Chapbook Prize, the Iowa Youth Writing Project, the Iowa Young Writers' Studio, Ink Lit Mag, earthwords, and Fools, the Magid Center’s goal is to provide support and guidance to young writers looking to expand their knowledge and experience as creators, editors, readers, teachers, and active citizens regardless of their academic background or area of study.
