Matchbox Magazine is a UC-wide literary magazine that publishes poetry, prose, visual art, spoken word, and music annually. We distribute our magazine to every UC campus at no cost to students. Matchbox Magazine is a student-run literary magazine based at UC Santa Cruz that publishes talented writers, artists, and musicians from the entire undergraduate population of the UC system. We distribute our magazine in the spring of each year and strive to feature the best work our peers have to offer. As the only student publication that is UC-wide, Matchbox is an important way for UC students to have their creative voices widely heard, and to hear voices and perspectives from all over the state that they might not have otherwise been exposed to. Not only does Matchbox provide amazing learning opportunities for our staff, but it also provides a singular forum for writers and artists who might otherwise be overlooked. We love making this magazine and people love reading it, so sustainability for the future is incredibly important to us as an organization. By supporting Matchbox, you’re helping us leave a legacy for future years to create bigger and better magazines. Each book costs less than $5 to make, so your donation can directly put a book in someone’s hands. Without you, we wouldn’t be here. Make a gift today to support students, the arts, and the expansion of Matchbox Magazine.
