Volume 7 now open for submissions
Paper Dragon is the literary journal of Drexel University’s MFA in Creative Writing program. It is managed and edited by MFA students and published with generous help from the Drexel Publishing Group.
Through civic engagement, its mission is to provide a platform for the amplification of communities that have historically been underrepresented in literature. Paper Dragon will achieve this goal by showcasing high-quality creative work from authors and other artists in these communities.
Volume 6 of Paper Dragon focuses on the power and draw of friendship. The Drexel MFA Class of 2024 is pleased to present this collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and art. Readers can also download a PDF or ePub.
Greetings from our co-editors
MFA class of 2024 is proud to bring you the first of our two Paper Dragon volumes. We received hundreds of submissions and are excited to show you the hard work and wonderful creativity of those selected for Vol. 6.
To improve your reading experience, we have provided a downloadable PDF and an e-reader ePub file—a special gift for our email subscribers!—in addition to reading the volume on the website. We hope these three avenues will increase your reading satisfaction.
We chose friendship as our theme for this volume to highlight how connection with others has influenced and moved us. The selected pieces invite us to reflect on the effects of our closest relationships.
Because of the phenomenal work we've received, we want to move into next year reading more! Our next call will allow for longer works of fiction. This means our submission open period will be extended by a month. The theme is your choice. Get your submissions ready and thank you for reading Paper Dragon.
