Editorial Statement
The 318 Journal team is a group of undergraduate students at California State University, San Marcos who are dedicated to promoting student voices. The goal of the 318 Journal is to find unpublished pieces of work to find a home which allows students to experience having published work. The 318 Journal team offers students at CSUSM and other universities and colleges a chance to start their writing career. This journal is a creative outlet for poetry, fiction, non-fiction, hybrid, and digital, and other variations of literature. We encourage exploring different perspectives of the world through writing.
