The Arzu Anthology was founded in 2017 with the mission of providing undergraduate students with a dedicated platform for their creative voices. Since its inception, the anthology has been committed to elevating undergraduate writing, with a particular emphasis on narratives that expand and challenge our literary imaginations. Previous issues have featured a combination of prose, poetry, memoir, and literary essays, written in Urdu, Punjabi and English. Recent issues have also included visual art and photography as an additional dynamic medium of storytelling. We publish a new issue of the anthology each year, and invite submissions in all these genres, mediums and languages from currently enrolled and recently graduated undergraduate students across Pakistan.
