Writers should submit polished work that demonstrates a clear understanding of the journal's aesthetic, which favors accessible, character-driven narratives and lyrical but unpretentious poetry. Reading recent issues is strongly recommended to gauge tone and length preferences. Simultaneous submissions are typically accepted, but notify immediately if work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with publication credits, if any, and a short bio. The journal welcomes submissions from underrepresented voices and emerging writers. Response times can vary, so patience is advised; query only after three months. Follow the guidelines on the website precisely, as the student editorial team appreciates adherence to formatting and genre specifications.

Please read several of our past issues, as well as the submission guidelines on our website.
