Collins Columns

What is the Collins Columns? It's your local sweet weekly zine. What's a zine? It's a thing full of stuff that people around Collins make. Oh hey, so that includes you if you live here! The Columns belongs to the residents here at Collins and is open for submission every week. It's your local print forum of sorts so please don't hesitate to send us all your drawings, poems, rambles, essays, and the like. We have a weekly theme too but we take everything. Also if you want to help us or ask questions, send us an email at columns@indiana.edu

Anyone can submit to the Collins Columns! Anything you submit will be published. However, we do not accept submissions that are antagonistic, derogatory towards any group or individual, spreads hate speech, or generally conflicts with the values of Collins LLC and the community agreement that was signed upon becoming a resident. If you have any questions, please contact the editors.

Hi everybody I’m Goodman! I’m a sophomore studying media production, but I also have a folklore minor which is way cooler and more mysterious. This year I’m indentured as the Literary Arts Coordinator, a Columns Co-Editor, and a BOEP programmer. I go nuts over horror stuff and in my free time I love watching spooky movies and writing spooky stories/poetry (and hanging out with my friends if they deserve it). As one might expect I’m also wayy into filmmaking and photography. Please talk to me anytime for literally any reason I welcome it!! :)
