We are a literary journal that aims to build a community of young writers. We seek to give students a place to be inspired by their peer’s work and to have a clear goal with their writing. One of the strongest motivators for a writer is to share their work and see it in an official publication.
The inspiration for The Alpine Path comes from L. M. Montgomery’s Emily of New Moon, where she quotes a poem that encapsulates the journey a writer must take.
