Talking Leaves
Talking Leaves is the IU Columbus student literary magazine. Originally titled Literalines, the name was changed to Talking Leaves in 2005.
The magazine’s purpose is to empower student voices and encourage self-expression; as such, works receive only minimal copyediting to preserve the uniqueness of each contributor’s voice. All content, except past issues’ faculty/staff highlight section, is original student work. IU Columbus, Ivy Tech Columbus and Purdue Polytechnic Institute Columbus students submit works under a blind review process, and design teams base acceptance on the quality of each submission. Each stage of the magazine’s production is managed by students: call for submissions, judging and selection of works, layout and design, copyediting, and print production.
