We want your under_graduate work!
We want to show off what you’ve been making in class and on your own. Do you have poems, fiction, creative nonfiction, visual art, or some other media creation? Send it to us!
Submission Guidelines
Please submit up to three poems or three pieces of (static) visual art. We will consider single prose pieces up to 1,500 words or three smaller pieces of no more than 500 words each. More details below.
Deadline
Submissions close early in the fall semester so that our Editing & Publishing students can work through the submissions and make selections and schedule publication.
Reprints
While you are still early in your career, we are happy to reprint work that has appeared in college-run literary magazines. Please note prior publication when submitting.
Submission Guidelines
In more detail…
We accept work from undergraduates all over. Work that has previously been accepted into college-run literary magazines are eligible for reprint. (Please note this fact in your bio.)
Because we have a limited staff and limited time, please submit to only ONE genre per year / reading period.
POETRY
Please submit up to three poems in a single document. Keep in mind that we are web- and not print-based. Any innovative formatting may be a challenge to reproduce online, but we’re willing to try!
FICTION and CREATIVE NONFICTION
We will consider single prose pieces up to 1,500 words or three smaller pieces of no more than 500 words each. Submit multiple small pieces in a single document.
VISUAL ART
We accept up to three static visual images.
MULTIMEDIA
We don’t know what else you may be working on, but show us.
