The Inkwell – PublishED

The Inkwell is the University of Edinburgh’s literary magazine, published biannually by PublishED.

The inaugural issue of The Inkwell was published in 2009. Since then, PublishED has produced 31 issues. The Inkwell issue numbering was restarted with our Autumn/Winter 2023 issue, Taboo, to align with PublishED’s changing identity.

Limited print runs of The Inkwell can be purchased at PublishED events. Alternatively, reach out to our committee at published.soc@gmail.com to enquire about print issue availability.
