Chinquapin Literary Magazine is raising funds to support the yearly production of our publication. Founded in 1979, Chinquapin is the longest-running literary magazine at UC Santa Cruz and has been serving the student body as a platform for creative expression and validation ever since.
Chinquapin prides itself on being a completely student-run publication; our editorial staff gets the unique opportunity to gain valuable publishing skills through a hands-on experience that no class can truly offer. We are excited to begin compiling this year's magazine beginning in the spring quarter.
The magazine is composed of student-submitted art, poetry, and prose—giving students the rare opportunity to become a published writer or artist before graduating.
We are currently in the production process of our 45th edition. Your donation will help us print more literary magazines and increase circulation. A sincere thank you from the 2023–24 Chinquapin Editing Staff for supporting creativity at UC Santa Cruz!
