Welcome
The Tributary is an undergraduate literary journal. For over two decades, we’ve featured up-and-coming writers, artists, and photographers from all walks of life. Through the work of our editors and the dedication of the undergraduate community, we publish two issues every year. In the fall, we have a Lycoming College only issue, and in the spring, we open submissions to undergraduate students across the nation. We at The Tributary aim to seek what you as an artist need: the thorough spread of creativity and its appreciation.
In 2022, we became on online only literary journal. Along with every issue we publish, we are working on uploading our old print editions for the world to see.
Our 3rd national issue is out NOW! Submissions for Lycoming College students will open up in the fall.
