The PALNI Open Press is excited to showcase a new profile of James McGrath, Butler University professor and creator of AcademFic, an open-access journal dedicated to bridging the gap between scholarship and creativity.
AcademFic provides a platform for academics to share fiction that engages with philosophical, historical, and niche themes often overlooked by traditional literary journals. As McGrath explains, this unique journal allows scholars to explore storytelling as an extension of their academic work or as a creative outlet beyond their fields.
The PALNI Open Press supports open and accessible publishing, empowering faculty, staff, and students from PALNI institutions to share their academic and creative work. The Profiles section highlights authors and editors like McGrath who are demonstrating the evolving landscape of open scholarly publishing.
