NOTE: For the sake of transparency, we have detailed how submissions will be evaluated and the process that each submission will go through before the writer receives a decision from us.

​

Creative Writing:

​

If you submit by our early submission deadline, your piece will be sent to three readers. Each reader will write a brief paragraph of feedback on your piece and vote on whether it should be accepted. If your piece receives 2-3 yes votes from the readers, the core officers will review it to determine whether it should be included in the magazine. In the event that it is accepted, it will be sent to an in-house editor, who will correspond with you to directly edit the piece. If your piece does not receive enough votes, we will send you an email with your feedback and notify you that your piece has not been selected for publication.

​

*You may opt out of receiving feedback. That being said, we encourage you to accept feedback! Our readers will be trained to write constructive and positive critique, and their work will be reviewed by a more experienced staff member. 

​

In the event that you choose not to receive feedback, your submission will still follow the votes system. Our readers will vote on whether your piece should be accepted and provide brief rationale for their decisions. Then, the core officers will make the final call.

​

Visual Art:

​

We will have several art judges in each genre of visual art. Three art judges will vote on whether your piece should be accepted. Although they will provide brief rationale for their decisions, you will not receive feedback. Our art director(s) will review the submissions that receive 2-3 yes votes and select the final pieces for publication.
