The Gully Review 2023 (BCCC Writing Club)

Editorial Note

This inaugural issue of The Gully Review is the culmination of efforts on Beaufort County Community College’s campus: eager creative writing students, hardworking college faculty, and supportive administrators made this literary journal possible. A long-time goal of the English department and Write On! Creative Writing Club has been to offer a publication for students’ creative work, so when a perfect combination of desire and timing arose, we acted on the confluence. This year, we accepted works from students currently attending BCCC. Our editorial staff and writing club members met with students to refine their works before submission; the writing club also provided input on pivotal decisions during the journal’s development such as the decision to name BCCC’s publication after our seagull mascot, Gully. It is our mission to encourage and guide the artistic talents of our students and help them develop their diverse voices. For most of the writers contained within, this publication will be their first. We are exceedingly proud of our students and happy to welcome readers to experience the voices within The Gully Review.
