The end of this fall 2025 term marks the first wrap of one of our brand new publishing courses: WR 246, Publishing Literature: Reading and Revising for Publication. Eight brave student editors learned the ropes of publishing by reading nearly 1300 submissions from more than 500 authors—and had a blast doing it! From researching literary journals to refining acquisition standards, from working with authors on developmental revision to soliciting cover art, these assistant editors have curated an incredible selection of poetry, prose, and possibility texts for our upcoming 30th volume. Thanks to the poets and writers who helped make this work possible!
