About

The Applause Literary Magazine project supports the student-led publication that showcases creative work while providing hands-on experience in editing, design and literary publishing.

UAFS students manage every stage of production, building practical skills that prepare them for careers in writing, publishing and the arts. Funds raised through this project support production costs and will allow the magazine to return to print after operating as an online-only publication since 2020.

Your support also helps student editors attend the annual Southern Literary Festival, where they connect with writers, editors and publishers from across the region. Gifts to this project ensure students continue gaining the experience and professional connections that make Applause possible.
