About the magazine

ellipsis... literature & art is a student-run literary and arts journal based at Westminster University (formerly Westminster College) in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in the 1960s, it has long served as a platform for emerging writers and artists, publishing poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art. The journal is produced by students, with faculty advisement, and reflects a commitment to fostering literary and artistic expression within and beyond the campus community. Its annual issues feature a diverse range of voices, often including contributions from both students and established artists. In recent years, ellipsis... has also expanded to include dramatic works, as evidenced by its Drama 2026-27 call for submissions, indicating a continued evolution in its scope and engagement with contemporary creative practices.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Artists and writers interested in submitting to ellipsis... should review the journal's current guidelines on the Westminster University website, as submission periods and categories (e.g., poetry, fiction, visual art, drama) may vary annually. The journal typically accepts work from both students and non-students, but priority may be given to Westminster affiliates. Submissions should be original, unpublished, and adhere to specified formatting and length requirements. Given the student-run nature, response times may vary, and simultaneous submissions are often discouraged. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with past issues to understand the journal's aesthetic range. For drama submissions, ensure scripts are properly formatted and include a synopsis. Always include a brief bio and contact information. The editorial team values clear, polished work that demonstrates a strong command of craft and a unique perspective.
