Shale (UK Creative Writing) Call for Submissions

Keeping in the Know: Literary Journals and Creative Writing at University of Kentucky

Greetings.

Did you know that there are three literary journals produced by the University of Kentucky or University of Kentucky faculty members?  

Shale -- An Undergraduate Literary Magazine 

Shale was originally founded under the name The Cat's Figment as a Jury Project for the fellow under the Gaines Center for the Humanities. Since its inception, it has been run by a Gaines fellow, who continually updates and expands the reach of the journal to include more and more of the undergraduate creative writing community. In 2011,The Cat's Figment was renamed Shale as a nod of respect and admiration for the graduate literary journal, Limestone.
