Delta Winds is an annual publication of student essays from courses in the English program of San Joaquin Delta College. The collection of expository writings includes reflective personal narratives and analytical social commentaries. Essays from the magazine have been republished in English composition textbooks by Bedford/St. Martin’s Press, Roxbury Press, Thomson Press, Longman Publishing, Norton and Company, and Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. Delta Winds is used as a supplementary text for a number of composition courses. In the English 87 and 79 programs, essays from the magazine have formed the basis for writing prompts in the final evaluation of a student's writing skills.

The Final Draft encourages students to submit original poetry, short fiction, essays, or artwork in various media. Published at the beginning of each calendar year, The Final Draft is directly connected to the curriculum for English 70. The Final Draft writers are featured at readings on campus. Since materials received by November 30th have the best chance of being published in the next issue, students should take submissions to Holt 201, the Reading/Writing Learning Center, and complete a Release Form. Students will be notified of acceptance in writing by The Final Draft staff, composed of June Gillam, Patti Drake, and Writing Lab tutors.

Each semester the students in English 44C: Creative Writing/Poetry compose, edit, and produce a magazine of student poems. From assisting each other with computer formatting to cover design, the students are in charge of their magazine and its contents, which becomes a model for student creativity in subsequent semesters. In addition to producing their magazine, 44C students regularly present their work at poetry readings in the Stockton Community; in fact, Delta College poets have been showcased at both Barnes & Noble and Maxwell's Bookmark. |

Students enrolled in some sections of English 44A and 44B, under the guidance of the instructor, compile their favorite stories from the semester into a book that is distributed to the class. The students contribute artwork and edit the stories, leaving the class with a tangible reward for their creativity and hard work. |
