About Us

The Apiary is an award-winning, student-led literary magazine publishing new writing from the students, staff and alumni of Queen's University, Belfast. Founded in 2020 by Ríbh Browlee and Caitlin Young, the Apiary publishes two print issues annually. A non-for-profit publication, The Apiary seeks to publish poetry, prose, non-fiction, translations, scripts and interviews.

Our editorial team is passionate about showcasing and supporting the development of new writers. We engage critically with every submission received and aim to provide constructive feedback on everything we read.

The Apiary is also committed to featuring up-and-coming visual artists from across the North, and we have a dedicated arts editor who curates our aesthetic and visual identity.
