Call for Submissions:
Gallimaufry Journal of Creative Writing
and Art Issue 2 (Morocco/ Africa-wide)
Deadline: 15 December 2012
Launched in Spring 2012, Gallimaufry is a creative writing and art journal by students. It is a platform for students to show their creativity.
Asking yourself what does Gallimaufry mean? It means a motley mixture of things. For us, it is a mixture of creative writings, photos, paintings, colors, and languages.
Gallimaufry is an open outlet for self-expressions, creative imagination, and inked voices within the students’ creative scene. If you are a lover of words, Gallimaufry offers you a variety of creative pieces, prose and poetry that can take your breath or drive you crazy. Going even further to physics and philosophy, you will find it between the lines of our stories.
