Sigma Tau Delta Journals
The Sigma Tau Delta Journals publish annually the best writing and criticism of undergraduate and graduate active chapter members of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society.
These journals are refereed, with jurors from across the country selecting those members to be published. The journals have had illustrious head judges including: Jane Brox, Henri Cole, Jim Daniels, W.D. Earhardt, CJ Hribal, Kyoko Mori, Lisa Russ Spaar, and Mako Yoshikawa, to name a few.
The best writing is chosen for publication from around 1,000 submissions. Not only do these publications go to over 10,000 members worldwide, of an over 17,000 active member organization, but they also honor the best piece of writing in each category with five scholarships totaling more than $1,000. There is also an annual reading at the annual International Convention by any of the published writers who can attend.
