The following resources are available to interested graduate and undergraduate students at MU:

The Missouri Review

Founded in 1978 here at Mizzou by Professor Speer Morgan, The Missouri Review is one of the premier literary magazines in the United States and has a reputation for finding new talent first. Graduate students who complete TMR's internship class can go on to a paid position as poetry editor, contest editor, or technology fellow. 
 

Persea Books

Persea Books, founded in 1975 and based in New York City, publishes a wide range of literary works, and offers an internship in poetry book publishing, led by Gabe Fried.
 

Wigleaf 

Wigleaf, an online literary journal run by Scott Garson, features stories of under 1000 words. Our undergraduate Creative Writing students have the opportunity to intern with the journal and gain valuable experience reading submissions from working authors.

The English Graduate Student Association

Through the English Graduate Student Association (EGSA), graduate students can serve as representatives to departmental and university-wide committees. As a representative, students gain a better understanding of faculty roles outside of teaching and see larger conversations across the university. EGSA offer representative positions for the Graduate Studies Committee, Undergraduate Studies Committee, Graduate Professional Council, Diversity Committee, and others. Additionally, each year two EGSA representatives are elected to serve on the Creative Writing Committee and they plan the Monica A. Hand Memorial Graduate Reading Series, serve subcommittees, and serve as liaisons between the students and faculty.
