Mission Statement

Inkling is the creative writing club of LSC-Tomball and publishes the annual Inkling Creative Arts Magazine. The club is designed to encourage the creativity of students, publish student art and writing, teach magazine production, involve students in campus activities, and host writing events such as our annual Open Mic and visiting writer readings. Launched in 1991, Inkling is published every spring and celebrates each new issue of the magazine with a college-wide release party.  All LSC-Tomball students are invited to submit poetry, short fiction, creative essays, photographs, and artwork for consideration for publication in the magazine. 

Inkling Creative Writing Club meetings are held every other Thursday from 2-3 PM and will continue to be scheduled at that time for the foreseeable future. If you are interested in participating in Inkling, we advise you to leave that time slot open when planning your schedule each semester. At Inkling meetings, we write from prompts and share writing, talk about the craft of writing, plan events and activities, and discuss magazine business and production. As well, during production season, additional meetings are held to select pieces for the magazine and design and edit it.

Within Inkling club and Inkling magazine, students also have the opportunity to assume leadership roles such as president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, editor, and staff member.
