About Fresh Pages

Fresh Pages is an online literary journal published by the Asian American Studies Program at University of Maryland-College Park. It provides an opportunity for undergraduate students at University of Maryland to publish creative writing as well as showcase their visual art, exploring aspects of Asian American identities and experiences. Fresh Pages was born out of the desire to craft a literary space for students to tell their unique Asian American stories and to support untapped creative minds. It aims to create a venue for their work to reach the campus community and beyond.
