Starting Lines is an anthology of student work published annually by the University of Santa Barbara Writing Program as a text and instructional tool for first-year writing classes: Writing 2, Writing 1, and Linguistics 12. For the last two years, we have partnered with Hayden McNeil to publish a new and improved version of Starting Lines.
Submissions of writing and campus photography are accepted throughout the year, and selections are made by faculty readers each spring. Prizes are awarded to contest winners in various categories, and all student authors receive certificates and a copy of the anthology. Student writers are also honored at an awards celebration at the end of spring quarter.
Starting Lines is available for purchase at the UCSB campus bookstore.
We are grateful for the work of other Writing Programs in developing models of successful publications of student writing: New Voices and Wings at California State University, Northridge; Student Writing Anthology, at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; and Prized Writing at the University of California, Davis.
