Sigma Tau Delta Journals

Deadline for the 2014 journals was Monday, May 13, 2013.

The Sigma Tau Delta Journals publish annually the best writing and criticism of undergraduate and graduate active chapter members of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society.

These journals are refereed, with jurors from across the country selecting those members to be published. The journals have had illustrious head judges including: Jane Brox, Henri Cole, Jim Daniels, W.D. Earhardt, CJ Hribal, Kyoko Mori, Lisa Russ Spaar, and Mako Yoshikawa, to name a few.

The best writing is chosen, from around 1,000 submissions, for publication. Not only do these publications go to over 800 chapters worldwide, but they also honor the best writing in each category, with five awards totaling $2,000. There is also an annual reading at the international convention by any of the published writers in attendance.
