Student Literary Magazine
Journey is an annual literary journal that publishes original writing by students of Southeast Missouri State University. Submission is open to all Southeast students, regardless of field of study.
The new issue is usually available by the fall semester of each year. Copies are free to Southeast students and can be picked up from the Journey rack on the third floor near the elevator in Grauel.
The origins of Southeast’s literary magazine was The Potboiler, which was first published in 1966 and lasted for four issues. Our literary magazine was reborn in 1971 as Journey, and has been published yearly ever since.
Journey is produced entirely by Southeast students. Volunteers read submissions, format the magazine using InDesign and Photoshop, giving them hands-on publishing experience, and prepare the issue for mailing.
Journey is compiled and designed almost entirely by student volunteers. Volunteers are needed to read and judge submissions that might be published in the magazine. Students are also responsible for formatting the magazine and creating the cover, as well as preparing the journal for printing and mailing.
