Revolute Randolph MFA Lit Mag About Revolute is a digital literary magazine founded in 2019 by the Randolph College MFA program. Revolute is committed to publishing the most engaging writing possible and is further committed to publishing emerging writers from underrepresented groups. Operated by Randolph College MFA students and staff, Revolute is a home for creative work where students contribute to every part of the publication process: reading, selection, editing, marketing, and publishing. Although we are a digital literary magazine with all the responsibilities of ethical and meaningful publishing, we are also a fully pedagogical implement. As such, we are committed to the learning journey of our students, and we expect that we will thrive and occasionally stumble together.
