how it works:

Our goal is to share the writer's revision process in an accessible, transparent way. For those of us who don't have the opportunity to learn about creative writing in a graduate, undergraduate, or even grade school classroom, PEP HAUS strives to provide that very opportunity here on our website. For each issue we publish, pieces which were accepted under the condition that the author work with one of our editors will be posted here. Read the first draft, the final draft, and all the iterations in between alongside editor comments and writer responses.

Below you will find several stories listed, which you can then click on to reveal the many drafts from start to finish.
