Between the Lines
Literary and Arts Journal

Edmonds Community College's literary/arts journal, Between the Lines, publishes quality short fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and visual artwork from writers and artists at the college and in the local community.

BTL is funded by the Associated Students of Edmonds CC through the Services and Activities fee collected from quarterly tuition, giving students the opportunity to share their work within a larger community of writers and artists while also offering community members a chance to engage with our arts and cultural initiative at the college.

Join our editorial staff!

Those interested in participating in the experience of designing, editing, and publishing a literary journal may also join the editorial staff of Between the Lines by enrolling the college’s Publications class, Humanities 235. Credits earned may count toward a two-year transfer degree at the college or the class may be taken as an elective. Instructor Amanda Laughtland is a published poet with experience in editing and publishing small press books and magazines. To find out more about the class, email her at amanda.laughtland@edcc.edu.

Participate in our supportive writing community!

At Edmonds Community College, emerging writers enjoy opportunities each quarter to interact with published authors and to polish and share their own poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. In addition to the literary journal and regularly offered English classes in creative writing and literature, the college provides a number of free short writing workshops and author events open to the community. Since 2002, the college’s Convergence Writers Series has hosted more than 30 free literary readings.
