About the Nomad

Since 1963, the Nomad has sought to give students a place to share their artistic voice and tell their stories. Through nearly a hundred issues, the Nomad has been the first step for many university students into the world of publication. The history of the organization goes back even further than that, with editions under the name “Catastrophe” going back into the ‘50s.
The Nomad works closely with the English department to nominate student work for the annual LitFest Creative Writing Contest, which offers cash prizes to student writers. Winners also receive automatic publication in our next issue and a chance to read their pieces aloud at the WCU Spring Literary Festival.

Student Membership

The Nomad staff is always looking for new members. No prior experience is required—just an interest in writing or graphic design! The Nomad is an excellent way to get publication experience and create a tangible product Catamounts can put on their resume! Please send us an email if you’re interested in joining.

LitFest Creative Writing Contest

The Nomad works closely with the English department to judge the annual LitFest Creative Writing Contest every spring, which offers cash prizes to student writers and a chance to read their pieces aloud at the WCU Spring Literary Festival. Finalists also receive automatic publication in our next issue.
