Roanoke Review, a national publication of literary fiction, poetry, essays, interviews and art, was founded in 1967 by Roanoke College student Edward A. Tedeschi and Professor Henry Taylor, who went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in poetry in 1986. For over half a century, the Review has cemented itself as a home for new and established authors writing in both traditional and experimental forms.
Roanoke Review has a student staff of about 20 people, including managing editors, social media managers, events coordinators, interviewers and acquisition editors. Students from any academic discipline are eligible to work at the Review — and all students who serve on the staff earn course credit.
Student staffers of Roanoke Review have gone on to careers in publishing, editing, event planning and social media management. The training and real-world experiences you gain by working on a renowned publication not only make great additions to your resume, but they also allow you to face the challenges of the job market with confidence in your own skills.
