ncite Magazine is McMaster University’s student-run monthly publication with a wide range of content, from essays and research pieces to fiction and poetry. Every aspect of Incite’s production is carried out by student volunteers, from writing to graphics to layout. We invite anyone interested in contributing to attend our planning meetings, where we will brainstorm ideas together and you can sign up to contribute. All skill levels are welcome! We work to foster close relationships between our contributors and editors. This allows new contributors to collaborate with experienced writers and artists to develop their skills in a friendly and positive environment. Email us at incite@mcmaster.ca to get involved. issuu.com/incite-magazine facebook.com/incitemagazine @incitemagazine
