About the Northwestern Insider

The Northwestern Insider is, for many NPEP students, a long time coming. Inspired by other publications that they’ve contributed to, the Northwestern Insider aims to be a place where NPEP students can write personal essays, poems, critiques, reviews, fiction, and more. The intention is to publish the Northwestern Insider on a quarterly or biannual basis.

The genesis of the Northwestern Insider can be attributed to the work of several individuals. But a special shout-out must be made for Tony Triplett, an NPEP graduate and writing fellow, who played an instrumental role in brainstorming, organizing, writing, editing, and shepherding the inaugural issue from idea to publication.

On the outside, Barbara Shwom, professor of instruction in writing emerita, The Cook Family Writing Program at Northwestern University, and Colin Hanner, a writer and media relations specialist with NPEP, compiled, edited, and designed content for the Northwestern Insider.
