Our Publications…

  • Established in 2007, Groundings is an academic journal, for University of Glasgow students, in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. We offer a rare opportunity for students at Glasgow to have their work published, or to participate in the production and management of an academic journal. In 2024, the Libraries Committee introduced postgraduate edition, Groundings Postgraduate, which will publish for the first time later this year!

    In July 2024, Groundings was officially registered and accredited with the Directory of Open Access Journals.

  • MoGUU is the Union’s official monthly magazine covering everything you need to know about life on and off campus. We are produced, written, and designed by students of the University of Glasgow. We welcome writers of all backgrounds and experience levels, and encourage any interested student writers to get in touch with their ideas.

  • Fleet Literary Review is a creative writing journal focused on creating a space of free expression and supportive community. We are a place for burgeoning creatives at Glasgow to publish their writing, without any limits set on genre, style or format – from the most traditional of prose to the strangest of poetry, we publish it all! We aim to be an accessible first step into the world of creative writing, so we require no prior creative writing experience, or experience of any other kind if you want to be part of our committee and contribute to our editing, publishing, graphic design, or event planning.

Hot off the press…

Groundings Undergraduate

There is no longer a theme, just a passing thought – write about something important. In the breadth of arts, humanities and social sciences, there is plenty to write about. From interviewing a Sudanese immigrant, to a survey about the diachronic nature of culture through the lens of the street names of Inverness. Whichever papers you chose to browse, they highlight the extraordinary vision and ability our undergraduate researchers possess.

MoGUU

MoGUU is the Union’s official monthly magazine! We are your on the ground correspondent for what’s happening in the GUU - the beating heart of campus life - and outside in greater Glasgow. This edition brings our first entry to this new format, showing you the best this university has to offer. From politics to sports, and even some fictional stories in which to lose your imagination.

Fleet Literary Review

Fleet, Issue 3, brings an exciting new development to this new, up and coming, edition to the libraries collection of publications. This issue explores three core themes set by the editorial board, giving writers a foundation to work with, exploring the depths of the literary world. This years theme was Illicit, Gospel and Bound.
