Notes is a student-run zine based in Cambridge. Every term, we publish a new issue of creative writing, essays, art and photography. When Jamie Patel, Laurie Lewis and Nick Hitchcock started Notes back in 2012, they created a publication that has always encouraged people to submit work which is glisteningly gestational, such as a notes-app rant suddenly finding itself sent out as a Poem, its turns of phrase still turning as they hit the page. Our elusive ideal is work which is unselfconsciously poetic.
And so, we’d love to read your sonnets, but we also heartily welcome pieces which wouldn’t bear the clutches of Form. Pluck up your restive work and we’ll give it free range here.
Although we can’t accept all submissions, we make sure to send thoughtful and constructive feedback to all who send their work in as an expression of appreciation and enthusiasm. We write the best rejection letters in town!
