EDITOR'S NOTE:

   Steam Ticket, A Third Coast Review, is published each April. Recognized as a national literary journal, we publish literary poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, from prize-winning writers as well as from new and emerging writers.

Founded In 1996 by members of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse English department, Steam Ticket is a student-run journal currently overseen by faculty advisor Matthew Cashion. The Steam Ticket staff commits itself to celebrating diversity in the selection of its content. 

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse offers English 320: Literary Journal Production/Publication. The class assembles and publishes Steam Ticket, a literary journal of quality writing.  From hundreds of submissions, students collaborate to select poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and artwork they believe to have redeeming literary merit.  Students assume roles as editors and readers, and the process is overseen (but not controlled) by a professor who has experience in creative writing and publishing.
