Welcome to the WUD Publications Committee website!
Our mission statement: to celebrate and promote reading and writing on campus. WUD Publications, or PubCom, as we like to call ourselves, aims to offer Badgers various leadership opportunities to gain experience in publishing-related fields. We provide creative outlets for UW-Madison students through our journals, lectures with established authors, mentoring program with professionals in the journalism and publishing industries, plan an awesome literary festival and more!
Other opportunities to get involved: Emmie, our music magazine; Illumination, our literary journal; JUIS, our international studies academic journal; Souvenirs, a collection of reflections and photography from fellow Badgers who have studied abroad; Working Title, our peer review writer’s group, and our mentorship program. We also have several online publications: Moda, our fashion and style magazine; Flash Fiction, where we publish short fiction; and this fall we will be introducing a new site, The Dish, an original food blog created with hungry Badgers in mind.
PubCom is always looking for new ideas, input, suggestions, and faces. If you are a UW-Madison student who is passionate about writing, interested in learning more about the publishing world, or simply looking to get more involved and meet fun people, PubCom is the place for you! We meet Wednesdays at 5:30-6:30 pm, TITU (Once in awhile we'll be in Union South, so don't forget to double check the room and union). Don’t be shy.
Feel free to contact Director Gayle Cottrill at publications@union.wisc.edu if you have any questions.
