Our History

Other is Duke’s peer-reviewed undergraduate literary arts journal, housed in the Program in Literature. Our mission is to create a publication exemplifying creative and thoughtful writing about culture, literature, film, and the arts. Committed to experimental, theoretical, critical, and creative expression, Other is a dedicated space for sharing original work by Duke undergraduates. We accept submissions of course papers for academic peer review, critical responses, and reviews of contemporary art, creative writing, photography, and illustration.

Our inaugural issue was released on April 25, 2024 with a release party and live music at the Duke Coffeehouse.

We are excited to continue Other in Fall 2024 and hope you will consider participating. Undergraduate students interested in participating in the editorial board should contact the editor-in-chief Billy Cao at yuren.cao@duke.edu. General inquiries about the journal may be sent to otherlitjournal@duke.edu.

Please read our submission prompt and guidelines for information on how and when to submit. We look forward to engaging with your work!
