Write for Phoenix!

What is Phoenix?

Phoenix is the termly student-run arts magazine of Imperial College London. As a sister publication to the student newspaper Felix, it is a revival of the original publication started in 1904, descending from the college journal founded by H.G. Wells in 1887. Anyone affiliated with the university is able to submit literary or visual entries. 

The magazine aims to provide a platform for the arts and the sciences to coexist and is dedicated to highlighting the scope—short essays, opinion, perspective, fiction, poetry, music, visual art, and photography—of art and thought in the form of creative expression at the College. 

Please submit to the magazine using the link below.
