Floodwall Magazine

The student-run literary magazine at UND. 

At Floodwall, we believe that creative writing can bring people together and challenge us to see the world in new and different ways. In 2012, a group of graduate students in the English Department started Floodwall Vol. 1. They published five issues of fiction and poetry by incredibly talented writers as well as interviews with world famous authors. The amount of work these students did to bring the magazine to life was enormous, and they kept it going for as long as they were at UND.

We don't want to lose what they did. So, after some years of inactivity, we've sprayed down "the wall" and revamped it with an eye toward our students. Creative writing is still at the center of Floodwall's mission, but in order to foster a literary community on our campus, we think it's important to share the work being done right here at UND. Floodwall has always been collaborative, and UND’s writers, artists, and editors will continue to build this literary tradition together, brick by brick, piece by piece. Now in its second iteration, in an effort to showcase a variety of creative works from all members of our student body, Floodwall Vol. 2 publishes fiction, poetry, nonfiction, photography, and digital art made by students at The University of North Dakota.

Floodwall Archives

Floodwall is currently in the process of archiving our back issues from volume 1 and volume 2! Starting in January 2025, our website will feature an archives page that links directly to our back issues, which are all stored in UND's Scholarly Commons. We will keep a few of our more recent issues live on the Floodwall web page. We encourage our past contributors to update any direct links on their personal websites with the links in UND's Scholarly Commons.
