Willard and Maple

piece and vote on acceptance. Voices are raised, tempers are tested, and words are thrown through the air in the drastic battle of the written word. Each issue, published annually, includes works of poetry and prose from all over the world. It is Willard & Maple’s prime objective to preserve the tradition of the written word, and print quality anthologies that artfully represent the work within. It is the Champlain community’s offering into the global body of creative work, and reveling in that bliss. The Willard & Maple office is not a traditional college-magazine workplace. Students completely take charge of the editorial process, and the review board for submissions is entirely comprised of young writers. Nobody’s here to pour coffee and punch copy. Willard & Maple was first published in 1996, and is now celebrating their 20th anniversary.
