Submissions: All submissions must be emailed to our faculty advisors as an attachment. We only consider material offered for first time publication. Artist and writers can submit 1-3 pieces per issue. Literature entries accepted: short fiction, essays, poetry, plays, and excerpts. We do not have length limits; however, try to keep submissions under 1000 words. Include names on the files: firstinitial_lastname.doc .txt or .pdf permitted. Visual art accepted: photography, illustration, painting, collage, mixed media, cartoon, graphic design, and photographed sculpture. Please submit visual art as high-resolution, jpeg files. Art and literature had to be submitted to our faculty advisors by April 1, 2019. The submissions were reviewed and selected from April 2 through April 10. We have a blind judging process for art and literature. For this issue, in an attempt for greater anonymity, each staff member was assigned a number and voted using that number instead of their initials.
