Founded in 1965 by UBalt students and faculty, Welter<\/em><\/strong> has grown to national stature as a place where writers of prose, poetry, memoir and other non-fiction, as well as those who create visual art, can have their work published for an audience that numbers in the thousands. Every aspect of the journal is overseen by students; it\u2019s a deep dive into what it takes to structure a publication and get it out to the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We pride ourselves on publishing high-quality fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and visual art from writers and artists around the world. We publish twice a year; our print journal <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em>publishes every spring and our online collection<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong> every fall. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
