Our Mission

30 North publishes works of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual artwork in our annual print journal. Our pages welcome North Central College’s students and alumni, as well as student authors and artists from across the world. On our website, we publish author interviews conducted and written by our staff, and, in our community, we celebrate creative expression in all of its forms. We seek to cultivate a collaborative and generous community of writers, artists, and readers.
