Hello! Welcome to the blog of Loch Norse Magazine, the student-published literary magazine of Northern Kentucky University. We hope you’re here because you’re interested in contributing to or becoming familiar with the creative atmosphere in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. If you’ve stumbled across our page in search of another, we hope you will stay awhile—grab a chair, get a cup of tea, reach for a book. Here at the magazine, we wish to nourish a community of people with similar aspirations and foster a creative community of writers and thinkers.
Hopefully this blog will help you in your own endeavors as a creative writer or reader of creative writing. We will post opportunities for publication, recommendations of recently published poems or stories for your perusal, and just our general thoughts about writing and the written word. We hope you will find what you are searching for.
Recently, Loch Norse Magazine hosted an open mic night at NKU. The students who attended had a great time listening to their peers’ poetry and short fiction, and we were excited about the turnout. We had everyone from freshmen to graduate students—from veterans of open mic nights to first-timers. It was the first gathering of the semester of like-minded individuals that came to support one another—we all had fun learning about each other and about the creative community as a whole. We hope to host more of these events as the semester and academic year progresses.
Check back in with us to find out the dates of future open mic nights and other events, as well as updates on the journal itself.
If anyone has suggestions about open mic nights, this blog, or anything else, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us. We are always looking to improve. Our email is lochnorse@gmail.com.
