Welcome!

In addition to the verbal and written communication skills and the research and critical thinking skills that employers value, the study of English develops the “soft” skill of empathy which has been identified as one of the six areas vital for success in the new economy. The English degree also offers an excellent foundation for graduate and advanced professional study in law, medicine or business.

The FOGDOG Review

The Fogdog Review has been publishing student essays about literature since 1997. TFR also publishes essays about popular culture and film. We welcome submissions of book reviews and film reviews as well as creative nonfiction that engages literature in a substantive way. TFR often features interviews with visiting authors as well as Wright State faculty, and we frequently publish surveys about various cultural and literary trends.

Please note that The Fogdog Review accepts submissions from students who have been enrolled in at least one course at Wright State within the past two years. TFR welcomes Wright State student submissions from September 1 through January 31.

For over twenty years, The Fogdog Review has been a print journal. However, TFR will debut its first online issue in May 2019.
