The University of Iowa is known for its acclaimed writing programs. The University’s Iowa Writers’ Workshop and the International Writing Program were central to UNESCO’s decision to designate Iowa City as a City of Literature in 2008. Recently, Iowa was ranked #2 in US News and World Reports’ list of writing universities. Iowa’s standing as a top writing school is evidenced by the school’s many undergraduate literary magazines. For many of these magazines, fall submission deadlines are closing in.
