Alchemy, a magazine of Portland Community College literature and art, is published annually in late May as a class project by the students of Writing 246, Advanced Creative Writing--Editing and Publishing, at the Sylvania Campus.

All PCC students are encouraged to submit their best as-yet unpublished writing and artwork for publication. At least 80 percent of each issue is devoted to PCC student work; up to 20 percent may be non-student work.

The same class that produces Alchemy also publishes  Alembic, a newsletter format magazine of literature and art. Students with creative writing backgrounds are invited to register for WR 246 and participate in producing the next issues of Alchemy and Alembic.

The current issue of Alchemy can be purchased for $5 per copy through the PCC Bookstores and such local merchants as Powell's Books and Annie Bloom's. Past issues are $2.
