Humber College’s HLR Spotlight, sister publication of the Humber Literary Review (HLR), will host a virtual launch for its second edition on Wednesday, May 19 from 7 to 8 p.m. here. This event is free and open to the public.

The online literary supplement is a joint effort between students from both the Faculty of Media & Creative Arts (FMCA) and the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and Innovative Learning (FLA). This edition features stories by students from the Creative Writing program, with editing and marketing handled by Professional Writing & Communications (PWC) students.

The cross-faculty collaborative project is funded by Humber’s department of Applied Research & Innovation (ARI), which has now supported the experiential learning project for the second year in a row. The project gives students hands on experience applying theoretical knowledge and practical skills in a professional literary environment.

HLR Spotlight’s second edition will be available at https://humberliteraryreview.com/hlr-spotlight-landing upon publication on May 19, 2021. 14 stories are featured in the edition, as well as artwork from local artist Meaha Caudle-Choi, who is a student in Humber’s Art Foundation program.
