Springs of Helicon Literary Magazine

Creative writing students serve as editors of the Springs of Helicon literary magazine. One issue is published per academic year both online and in print, and it offers the staff opportunities to design a perfect-bound, professionally-printed literature and art journal, learn the editing and publication process from start to finish, and publish their short stories, poems, plays, and essays. The literary magazine class also includes publication workshops for creative writing majors to explore national journals and submit their stories or poems. Most BFA students publish in distinguished magazines before they graduate.
