What is ENGL 3713: Magazine Editing?
Student editors all register for English 3713, a practicum in literary journal editing, offered every spring. Class members read widely in contemporary literary magazines, familiarizing themselves with older and newer print and online publications. Readings are combined with research presentations, writings, and hands-on editing work. The class culminates with the public release of its major project, that year’s issue of the Long River Review.
Staff positions are not paid and are only open to UConn students.
How frequently is information updated on our website/socials?
We at Long River Review are the most active on our website/socials during the spring semester at UConn (Late January to early May). We are working on becoming more active during the summer and fall/winter seasons.
