Vistas & Byways is a new online literary magazine created by and for members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at San Francisco State University (OLLI at SF State).
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a creative outlet for the students who attend classes in our vibrant community of learners, and to encourage others to join us in giving voice to their own creative energy. The experience and knowledge of our student body, nurtured by the unique San Francisco Bay Area’s rich literary tradition, is the foundation on which our publication rests.
Who We Are
Vistas & Byways will be published concurrent with OLLI at SF State course sessions (Fall, Spring, Summer). We invite you to join our community of new, not-so-new, and established writers. See the Submission Guidelines posted on this website.
The Vistas & Byways Production Team is comprised of an all-volunteer staff who are members of OLLI at SF State. Please contact us with your questions, comments, and suggestions using the box on the Staff and Contacts page. If you are interested in helping with the publication of future issues, we need volunteers with interest and skill in a variety of areas (administrative, editorial, publicity, marketing, website construction, and graphic arts). For further information and to apply to join our staff for the Spring 2016 issue, please see our online Volunteer Interest Form.
