Additional info

The Headlight Review is produced by collective effort between the graduate students and faculty advisors of Kennesaw State University’s Master of Arts in Professional Writing program. Our staff aims to showcase engaging work that illuminates the corridors of the human experience. We also administer the annual Headlight Review Chapbook contest, meant to showcase an excellent chapbook-length poetry collection. We encourage submissions from marginalized and underrepresented communities and perspectives including emergent creators of color and those from the LGBTQIA+ community.
