Elm Leaves Journal (ELJ) is SUNY Buffalo State’s historic literary and arts journal. In production since 1948, Elm Leaves Journal has been administered, edited, and produced by students at Buffalo State University.
The journal is edited by Kim Chinquee, associate professor of English and coordinator of the Writing Major. ELJ is produced, in part, through the work of students in ENG 327: Editing and Publishing Elm Leaves Journal. In this course, Professor Chinquee takes students through the process of producing the journal, from selection to editing to layout.
This series is a tribute to the legacy of our late colleague Emanual Fried.
