SF's Literary Journal
Zephyr is Santa Fe College’s Literary Journal that consists of poetry, artwork, photography, fiction, and personal essays. It is an annual publication that showcases the talent and creativity of our current students. This book is unique because the process of creating Zephyr is student-led and student-run. From submitting and reviewing to printing and distributing, the students decide every aspect of Zephyr. In addition, the submissions published through Zephyr have the potential to win the League of Innovations Student Literary Award, which is a national contest (and a pretty big deal). Students will also be able to retain their first publishing rights for each submission. In fact, many famous artists and creatives were first published in student journals like Zephyr. Contributions are welcome and encouraged from all Santa Fe College campuses.

Are you interested in helping with the production of Zephyr? Students are always welcome to join our Editorial Board. We especially appreciate student editors with interests in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography, the fine arts, and visual print media. As a student-centered publication, our editors make decisions not just about what we publish, but they are integral to the design process and content of the journal. This is a fantastic opportunity to be creative and to shape futures. It is also fun! Honestly, if you like reading and writing and being in the company of awesome people, then there is something for everyone!
