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 CLOSED!!

Thanks to everyone who submitted for issue 8. This volume is full of such beautiful stories, poems, photographs, and artwork. We are continuously amazed by talent that exists in the Miami University community. 

If you weren't able to submit to us for Volume 8, we'd love to see your work this coming fall semester. Keep creating!!

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.
