Every year, the Eastern Writers Guild, a student-run club at Eastern Connecticut State University, publishes "Eastern Exposure," a student literary journal that showcases fiction, poetry, plays, scripts and other types of creative writing.

Tashanna Edwards '16 of Norwich, who majors in Communication, is featured in this year's journal. Edwards's piece is titled "Jefferson Avenue." Edwards recently finished a 60,000 word novel, and is working on a full length play and novella.

The Eastern Writers Guild is advised by Dan Donaghy, professor of English. Members carefully select the work that is included in each issue of "Eastern Exposure" during the fall semester, and publish it during the spring semester.The goal of the Writers Guild is to promote creative expression among the student body by holding cultural and literary events. They create an open forum for individuals interested in writing and literature.
