The Common Room
An on-line journal of literary criticism operated by the Knox English Department, The Common Room posts new essays three times a year.

Cellar Door
Cellar Door began in 2006, issues aim to include not only student work but also that of professors and a well-known writer from the literary world outside of Knox. Kevin Stein, the Poet Laureate of Illinois wrote for the first issue. Hannah Tinti and Michael Martone have lent their words to later issues.

The only requirement for publication in Cellar Door is love on the writer's part of his or her own work and their desire to discuss it with other students to improve it. This is an innovative editorial process of which Knox is the first undergraduate college to have embraced.

Knox-BCN
Knox-BCN is an online publication featuring work submitted by participants of the Knox College Program in Barcelona. It was created in 2009, which happily coincided with the Program's 40th anniversary in Spain.

Published biannually (fall and winter), it features different journalistic styles whilst reflecting the students' experiences in Barcelona. Knox-BCN provides participants with an exercise in intercultrualism and, of course, Spanish. It is the College's first publication cien por cien en español!
