Student Writing Clubs
Bluejays and Poets
Bluejays and Poets is Johns Hopkins University’s premier and award-winning Poetry & Performance club. Built on the spoken-word traditions of Black and queer folks, B&P aims to create a space for all students, especially those of marginalized backgrounds, to explore the page and stage in a supportive environment. More information can be found on their Instagram page @bluejaysandpoets or by writing [email protected].
Writers’ Warehouse
If you want to find a supportive creative writing community on campus, Writers’ Warehouse is perfect for you! We meet once a week to work on our writing, flipping between writing and workshopping each week. Throughout the year, Writers’ Warehouse also brings in guest speakers to discuss writing, editing, and publishing.

The Hopkins Review
For the first time since the journal’s launch in 2008, The Hopkins Review is officially inviting upper-level undergraduates (juniors and seniors) to join its editorial team. There are two opportunities for involvement:
Reader (volunteer)
This position is an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the literary publication process at a university journal. This position is only open to Writing Seminars majors and minors, and preference will be given to those who are taking or have completed the Advanced Workshop in the genre of their choice.
Professional Intern (for-credit)
Interns will focus on increasing THR’s readership and public profile through social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), our website, digital marketing campaigns, subscription drives, and other marketing, communication, and publicity efforts. This position is a good fit for a skilled writer with an interest in publishing, communications, and the contemporary literary world.
