About
Tuesday was founded in 2003 by a group of students dissatisfied with the selection of student publications around campus. Traditional literary magazines were clouded by elitism and pretension, losing focus on accessible, engaging writing. Intellectual magazines were too narrow in scope, failing to capture the range of discourse on campus. Furthermore, all magazines forced new members to endure a comp process, resulting in poorer-quality writing churned out to meet comp deadlines, and a less creative, more hierarchical atmosphere. Inspired by magazines such as The New Yorker, Harper’s, and The Atlantic Monthly, the founders set out to create a general interest magazine that valued creativity, diversity of subject matter, and high-quality writing.
In 2003-2004, the magazine published two issues under the name Voice Where Prohibited. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association recognized these issues with a Gold Crown award in its prestigious publication competition; only four college magazines in the country were awarded Gold Crowns.
In 2005, the name changed to Tuesday Magazine. Tuesday is a submissions-based magazine that accepts pieces on any topic, and accepts members to its editorial, art, business, staff writers, and design boards without requiring a comp.
Dear Tuesday Magazine,
It’s been a while, but I stumbled upon the Tuesday website today and just wanted to say how proud I am that the magazine is still producing such great stuff!
I’m one of the founders of the magazine (founded the Art Board back in 2004). We’re coming up to our 10th anniversary fairly soon-ish, and I was thinking of creating a 10th annivesary donation drive from alumni as well as some form of celebration.
Let me know what you guys think.
Best,
Lewis
