The Emerson Review, founded in 1953 as The Scribe, is Emerson College's oldest student-run literary magazine. The book is published annually and is released each spring during a Release Event, which is open to the entire literary community of Boston.
The Emerson Review accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction (magazine/journalism articles, personal essay, memoir, etc.), song lyrics, stage- and screenplays, and photography/other visual art.
Currently, distribution of The Emerson Review is limited to the Emerson College community, though distribution is being expanded to include bookstores in the Boston area, and a mailing campaign involving Emerson College donors and former Emerson Review editors is being developed.
Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or review:
“Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in the river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
