LCC’s Washington Square Review 

WSR publishes fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, two issues a year. The summer issue includes work from writers all around the world. The winter issue, the Star Edition, includes only student work. The acquisition editors for both issues are students, the work of evaluating the submissions is embedded in writing program courses. The journal is available in paperback and ebook. Authors published in the journal are invited to be interviewed on the journal’s radio show/podcast, Washing Square OnAir, and also to read on the journal’s live read event, Washington Square Reads.
