Still Waters, the Brooks School student literary journal, aims to provide a forum for the writers and poets in the Brooks student community. Still Waters is committed to publishing original, exciting material from a diverse population of Brooks student writers. While we actively pursue memoir, personal essay, short fiction, and poetry, we will consider any form of writing submitted.
The writing community at Brooks is vibrant and active. Still Waters also sponsors public readings of student work in the Brooks School Writing Center and writing contests throughout the year.
There are no limits on word count for submissions, and multiple submissions are permissible.
New issue: Volume V, Issue III
Check out student poetry, fiction, reflection and art from 18 current students at Brooks.
