Back to TopThe Fall Line Review
The Fall Line Review is an annual journal dedicated to highlighting the literary and artistic achievements of Middle Georgia State University students. The journal was created in the early 1970's and was called Timepiece. In 1998, the journal became The Fall Line Review, placing it within a literary tradition of journals that incorporate a sense of layered time, locale, and geography that the original journal sought to achieve.
Faculty advisors are Dr. Kelly Whiddon and Mr. Adam Young.
The Fall Line Review welcomes music and digital media submissions as well as works of poetry, prose, artwork, and photography.
