Horizons is Waubonsee Community College’s literary magazine.

Horizons is produced every spring semester and is designed by students in the Waubonsee’s Creative Writing Club and showcases the written, visual, and musical work of Waubonsee students.

About Horizons

It publishes primarily works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama, but it also publishes written work that blurs the lines between genres.  The magazine is published in print form but is also available on the web.

The artwork published in the magazine is the result of a collaboration with the Waubonsee Art Department and features the work of Waubonsee student artists.

Horizons also includes music from Waubonsee music students in collaboration with the Music department.

For more information about the Creative Writing Club, please visit our website for events, updates, and posts written by members of the club discussing their experiences as writers.
