Creative Writing & Journalism Publications

Portal Magazine

Portal is produced through the creative energies of students in the Creative Writing Program at VIU. The first issue was published in 1991, and Portal has since developed a following in Nanaimo and is expanding across the Island, community by community. Portal can now be found at participating businesses in Duncan, Ladysmith and Nanaimo.

The annual anthology fuses creative writing, photography, fine and other visual arts and is funded entirely by the efforts of student fundraising, donors, friends of the magazine, and advertising from the community.

Incline Magazine

Incline is the online magazine of the Vancouver Island University Department of Creative Writing and Journalism. The articles here were written by students in the CREW 401 Advanced Feature Writing Workshop.
