Question:

How can I be an editor for Murphy Square?

Answer:

Most of Murphy Square’s editors are recommended by faculty members of the English or Art department at the end of the academic year to serve as editors for the following year. If you are interested in participating in Murphy Square as an editor and are or have been enrolled in a writing course or in an art course, contact your professor and ask them to recommend you to the current Editor-in-Chief. Otherwise, feel free to contact the Editor-in-Chief himself/herself and let him/her know of your interest!
