WHO ARE WE?
Hot Dish Magazine is an annual online literary and visual artistry journal that features a mixture
of written works and studio art from high school and college students, collected from all over the
U.S. The magazine is edited by undergraduate students from various disciplines at Buena Vista
University in Storm Lake, Iowa.
Many students, whether hoping to achieve a career in the vast world of the arts, or those who
simply enjoy the freedom found in creating something and expressing themselves, should have the
opportunity to be noticed and appreciated. The purpose of Hot Dish Magazine is to give a voice to
those who want to be heard and a platform to display the passion of our younger generations.
