Publication Information

 * Name: The Reader
 * Issues: 1200
 * Description: The Reader is an annual publication of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and photography submitted by Hampshire College students. It is the only professional-level publication on Hampshire campus that provides a public/community outlet for student work in these areas. For its editing and layout team, The Reader gives crucial experience necessary to enter the publishing industry. The Reader also familiarizes its contributors with the editorial process at a professional level, and gives them an opportunity to have a readership/viewership they might not otherwise achieve. The Reader is valuable to the Hampshire community because it gives other creative writing and photography students (as well as the community-at-large) a good impression of the scope and quality of student work being done on campus. It helps to form a network of writers and photographers that can provide advice, assistance, and inspiration to those students who have just recently entered the writing and photography programs. The Reader is also useful to Hampshire Admissions in attracting more (and better) writing students; Admissions distributed 100 copies over accepted students day weekend this past year. Finally, The Reader contributes to the Five College community through its distribution to the English departments at Hampshire's partner institutions.
