Literary Magazines

Founded by Dan Curley on the University of Illinois, Ascent is an collection of fiction, poetry and essays that provokes and entertains the head as well as the heart. Now housed on Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota and edited by W. Scott Olsen, every issue features dramatic poetry, thoughtful essays and fiction with a solid narrative.

We publish as many first time authors as well known names. We promise good company to our authors, and work that matters to our readers. Approaching our 30th year with a full history of honors, we have no rules except for the belief that literature can transform the earth, one reader at a time.
