Sigma Tau Delta: Blind Date With a Book! On Wednesday, November 19th, from 12-3 PM in Alumni Commons, Sigma Tau Delta -- UK's English Honors Society -- will be selling books to support attending the national Sigma Tau Delta conference in New Orleans in the spring. Come check it out and support.
 

Graduating MFA students will read short excerpts from their theses. All are invited to this bittersweet yet joyous event.

Dear writers, 

As you know, being a writer is not just about the (many, many) hours we spend alone in a room composing our works of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between—it's also about getting said works out into the world. Which is why it's time for the Fall 2025 Submit-a-thon.

It can sometimes feel confusing and/or intimidating to submit work to magazines and journals, but that's why it's good to do so in the safety and solidarity of a community of your fellow writers.
THERE WILL BE FREE PIZZA AND SALAD!

This is an opportunity to submit work you feel is ready to go out into the world. However, it's also a chance to talk and commiserate with each other about writing and publishing in an informal setting. So don't worry if you don't have anything to submit; it will still be a helpful and hopefully fun time.
