William & Reed Lit Zine
Sponsored by Dr. Watson
Many of the greatest writers in recent history published their early work in high school or college lit zines (literary magazines). In this club, students will create an original lit zine to showcase the best fiction, non fiction, poetry and artwork of current William and Reed students. In addition to producing content for the zine, club members will also be in charge of collecting and reading submissions from other students, creating a website, deciding on a publication format and design, and overseeing the creation and distribution of the first issue in late spring 2025.
