Welcome to the second year of QUT GLASS magazine. We are happy to announce the theme of our first issue ‘Breaking the Stigma’. Find the theme prompt in the picture above for ideas on what to write!

A note from GLASS Editors:
If you’re not a creative writer, that’s fine! We’d love to see content from all across QUT, from Law to Education and everything in between. You can write on any topic in whatever writing format you want, an open letter, a review, a recipe, an essay – it’s up to you. We’d like to particularly encourage submitting if you haven’t published anything before as we love seeing new contributors. (PS. having a professional writing credit is great for a resume) If you were a GLASS contributor in 2019, you know the drill – welcome back!
We’re also announcing FREE editing/pitching/feedback on all written submissions should they chose to access it. These drop-in feedback sessions will be on the 17th and 20th of January. Our Editors will be there, ready to help you with your submissions. If these timelines don’t work for you, please email GLASS to arrange another time.
FRIDAY 17/01/20: 9am-12pm Menagerie Cafe Kelvin Grove
MONDAY 20/01/20: 12pm-3pm Menagerie Cafe Kelvin Grove
