Led by Dr. Laura Cesarco Eglin, Assistant Professor of Creative Writing in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences’ Department of English, the student-run literary arts magazine provides students the opportunity to learn the inner workings of running a publication that showcases works from a diverse group of writers, poets, and visual artists. These works not only feature UHD students, but also creatives worldwide.
“The ”Bayou Review" offers a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience on everything that has to do with a literary and arts magazine," said Cesarco Eglin. “This internship allows students to learn a variety of skills, which include editing, organizing and running a magazine, designing, and much more. Being part of ‘The Bayou Review’ team is extremely valuable for anyone thinking of working in the publishing world (literary magazines and presses)."
