Cipher is a magazine managed by Colorado College students and published by Cutler Publications, a nonprofit organization independent of Colorado College. Cipher aims to engage readers in meaningful conversation through creative nonfiction, narrative journalism, memoirs, short stories, and visual art. With a few exceptions, we publish the work of Colorado College students. The magazine investigates issues affecting Colorado College, Colorado Springs, the U.S., and the world. Above all, we work hard to publish stories worth telling. The magazine is published once each block, except for first block. Each issue has a theme, which is intended as inspiration for art and articles, although submissions do not have to fit the current theme.
