Our students come from all over—New York, Arkansas, Massachusetts, California, and even Georgia. Those students publish with St Martin's, Bloomsbury, Scribner, Carroll & Graf, and Kensington Books, and in AGNI, BOMB, Gettysburg Review, Glimmer Train, McSweeney's, and New England Review. They win important prizes, fellowships, and contests, including the Poets & Writers Writers Exchange Contest, the Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers, the Walter E. Dakin Fellowship from The Sewanee Writers' Conference, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowship, the Georgia Author of the Year Award, and The World's Best Short Short Story Contest. [Visit the News page for details of their most recent publications and honors.] Members of our faculty have recently published books with Copper Canyon, MacAdam/Cage, and Ohio State University Press, and poems and short fiction in Mississippi Review, Epoch, Oxford American, and Poetry. Their awards include fellowships in fiction and poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference; the Whiting Writer's Award; the Poets' Prize; the Walt Whitman Award; The Grub Street Book Prize; and numerous other prizes, fellowships, and honors. We offer a number of financial aid opportunities for graduate students, including the Paul Bowles Fellowship in Fiction and the Virginia Spencer Carr Fellowship in Prose. We also offer assistantships that allow the opportunity to teach writing to undergraduates. Georgia State is the home of the literary magazines Five Points and New South (formerly gsu review), and both of these journals provide students experience in literary editing and magazine production.
