Call For Submissions

To be eligible for submissions students should be enrolled in at least one credit during any of the following semesters: the previous spring or summer, or the current fall term.

All submissions should be emailed to: uppermissharvest@stcloudstate.edu https://www.stcloudstate.edu/english/student/publications.aspx

Include your name and title(s) of your work in the body of the email while putting the genre you are submitting to with the subject line of your email. If you are submitting to multiple genres, please send separate emails with your submissions for each one, for example, all poetry pieces should be sent with an email subject heading of Poetry Submissions. If you are submitting fiction as well, send a separate email with the fiction pieces and the subject heading, Fiction Submissions, and so on. Please remove your name and other identifying information from the individual documents, so that only the title is present on each submission. All written pieces should be submitted as a Word file. We do not accept .pdf documents.

Failure to meet any of the guidelines may result in disqualification. We reserve the right to reject submissions. Faculty members enrolled in classes are not eligible for publication.
