OutWrite is an alternative multi-platform media outlet that deals with the issues that matter to young, engaged Queer or LGBT-identified individuals, both at UCLA and beyond. By illuminating topics that are not covered by the mainstream media, and by doing so with a distinctive, direct, passionate, and progressive voice, we strive to engage our community and serve their needs through dialogue and active expression. Our hope is that we can inform our audience about the problems plaguing our community, so that they may be better equipped to solve them.

OutWrite will act as both a resource for LGBTIQ college students by providing them with news, campus ongoings, and arts & entertainment content, as well as an outlet, allowing them to share their creative works and coming-out stories with the community. OutWrite intends to cover the LGBTIQ experience on a college campus with more depth than any other media source.

We are currently looking for writers, bloggers, editors, illustrators, photographers, designers, and advertising representatives. We have openings for the print magazine, as well as the main website, our Twitter and Facebook accounts, and our Tumblr. Help us in providing LGBTIQ students with something to relate to - stories that reflect their own, as well as stories that broaden their horizons. As writer Carlos Fuentes said, "Writing is a struggle against silence."
