The Rev
The Rev is a student-run creative literary arts magazine formerly known as The Russell Sage College Review. For the last four years, The Rev has been produced in collaboration with the CreativityUnleashed Publishing, a not-for-profit organization based in London, UK. It is supported by the Sage libraries and funded by Russell Sage College’s Carol Ann Donahue Endowed Fund.
The Rev is also published as part of the Russell Sage English, Writing and Culture program. EWC is an innovative program in which students engage with diverse literatures and cultures, learn about the ways that writing shapes the world, and develop their own powerful voices. For more information, check out the EWC program details here.
Many students from this department serve as editors on the magazine, or are published within its pages.


We have also been privileged to work with Questar III’s New Visions Visual and Performing Arts program for the second year in a row. High school students from a range of local tri-city schools joined us for our flat-plan and lay out meetings to learn the processes of editorializing a magazine. Here is artwork from one of their featured creatives: “Still-Alone” by Ash Zimmerman.
We would like to congratulate Haoyuan Li from Pinewood School in California for winning the first place prie out of 100 submissions for his poem called: Is This America? His work is published first in a section at the back of the magazine that highlihts 10 other international students.
Several pieces were also long listed and published on our blog. Visit www.creativity-unleashed.org/competitions to see those pieces.
