WHAT WE PUBLISH

We publish one issue per semester in Fall and Spring only. Each issue includes a print magazine and work published here on our website.

Untold publishes three types of work: written, art, and digital. Each issues tends to include a wide and eclectic mix, and we’re especially interested in “nontraditional” pieces that blur the lines across genres and forms.
