The Apricot Journal was founded in December of 2020 by Anya Geist and Emma Robeau as a way for the students of South High to come together through creative writing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2024, Madeline Trombly and Shannon Dennehy expanded the journal to accept submissions from all of Worcester's high school students.
Our mission is to encourage creative writing in Worcester and give students an outlet to express themselves.
The Apricot Journal is a young publication, starting in 2020. We recently started applying for awards in 2023, and were awarded 'Distinguished' by the National Council of Teachers of English in their literary magazine contest REALM. In 2025, our publication was awarded the highest distinction of REALM First Class!
