Bricolage is the UW's Undergraduate Literary Arts magazine, which is staffed by undergraduate students (managing editor, poetry editor, fiction editor, graphics editor, marketing director, etc.) who are elected each spring by their peers. Other students who wish to get involved with Bricolage can sign up to be part of one or more editorial ("reading") groups. These groups meet to read all of the submissions to the journal and to make a group decision about which pieces will ultimately be published. To get involved, contact bricouw@gmail.com.
