The Coloured Pages is Accepting Submissions!

The Coloured Pages is a Black literary magazine run by University of Pennsylvania students that publishes biannually. Our mission is to create a robust artistic scene for Black student artists run by Black student artists; providing a platform for Black creatives to share their work! We accept poetry, prose, and visual artistic mediums that have artist statements from all Black artists as well as work from non-Black artists whose work makes a commentary on the Black experience.
