Stillhouse Press is a student-run small press that allows students to gain experience throughout the realm of book publishing, from manuscript selection to production to marketing. 

Phoebe and So to Speak are student-edited journals that allow students to experiment with new forms of publishing while developing their aesthetic awareness and developing an editor’s eye.

Launched in 1997, Poetry Daily moved to Mason in 2019 and guides students in developing their curatorial skills, designing and maintaining a robust website, and managing the work of a daily online poetry journal.
