Mesa University’s (CMU) Literary
Review is open for submissions.
The Literary Review published
their first book in 1972, with the logo
being created by Andrew Cruz in
1988. A program managed by only
CMU students, they are the second
oldest publication on campus.
The staff consists of Editor-in-
Chief Janine Hald and Assistant
Editor Rhiannon Bergman, along
with a multitude of contributing
editors: Colin Jackson, Dillion
Fleischmann, Julie Holland, Calley
Washington and Audrey Edwards.
The Literary Review offers a place
to submit student-created work, with
the opportunity to be read by other
students and community members of
the campus. Editing help is provided
as well, with a sit-down with the
writer able to be arranged, to assure
quality of work for publication.
“The Lit. Review gives students the opportunity to be creative and have an idea of what it is to become a published author and gain credibility for their work,” Hald said.
The Literary Review will be accepting work from October to
November, with up to two written
fiction stories acceptable, and three
pieces of poetry.
This semester, The Literary
Review is accepting any type of
genre, with students able to express
themselves in a variety of ways. If a
writer’s work is approved but there’s
discomfort with the writer’s real
name being attached to the work,
their work is given a number, giving
those writers who are not ready to be
known a chance at anonymity.
Artwork is also accepted.
One might not be interested in
writing, but would rather create
an art piece. Students who want
their artwork to be published are
welcome to submit their work in
October as well.
Possible applicants can start by submitting work in October through an email: [email protected]. The Literary Review will then go through all applicants, and those approved will get an email on how to go forward with the process.
