“We are extremely lucky to have a thriving literary and art journal like The Mill here at BW,” said Mary Simmons, member of the selection committee, “as this presentation of student works truly fosters and captures the spirit of creativity which is inherent to the campus community.”

The Mill accepts submissions of short fiction, creative non—fiction, poetry, novel and drama excerpts, hybrid forms, photography and artwork. All works featured in The Mill are anonymously evaluated by the publication’s editors and selection committee based on technical execution, originality and artistic merit. In addition to the annual publication of The Mill, BW also hosts The Mill Reading Series each semester featuring readings by local and national poets and writers.
