Return to In-person

We at Happy Captive Magazine are pleased to announce our return to in-person meetings and events for the Fall 2021 semester. While Covid-19 is not fully behind us yet, we will be sure to take the proper safety measures to assure the health of our staff and contributors. 

Please know that masks will be required at all of our events to protect ourselves and others. Stay safe and wear a mask!

Submissions for Volume 8 are officially OPEN!!

Happy Captive Magazine is actively looking for submissions! Do you love writing, painting, sculpting, taking photographs, or any other form of art? We are looking for submissions of all mediums. Whatever you are creating, we want to see it. 

Send us the prose you wrote in class, the digital or visual artwork you’ve been working on all semester, or the collection of pieces that, together, tell a story. We want to help you get published and celebrate what Miami students are doing on campus. But, first, you have to submit!

Please send your submissions to hcmsubmissions@gmail.com

About the Magazine

Happy Captive ​Magazine is published annually by undergraduate students at Miami University in Oxford, OH, and features poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and art from fellow university students. We believe that the best stories are the ones that suck us in, make us think, and keep us prisoner until the final punctuation mark or last brush stroke.
 
Founded in 2014 by a group of English majors who wanted to provide a platform for eclectic and resonant undergraduate creative work, the magazine seeks moving narratives, and diverse voices, no matter the medium.
