In the grand scheme of things, yes: Atlantis is a small university publication. But looking through our archives, I found that Atlantis alumni have gone on to start a Contemporary Art L.L.C, work on a Disney show, win a Nebula for video game narrative design, and receive a National Book Award like UNCW’s creative writing professor, Jason Mott. Atlantis is a stepping stone for so many emerging creators across North Carolina.
