THE EDITORS OF AERIE WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE!
Are you a young author or artist looking for a place to share your work? Whether you express yourself though poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or visual art, Aerie is a platform dedicated to showcasing unique voices and perspectives on the UHart campus. We believe in the power of storytelling and self-expression, and we are especially interested in hearing what you are passionate about. We want to know what makes you tick! We accept most short forms of writing including poetry, fiction, short stories, creative non-fiction, personal essays, play scripts, graphic fiction, sheet music with lyrics, etc. Text submissions are limited to 5 pieces per contributor, across different categories. So go ahead, send us that poem jotted down in your notes app or that story lingering in the back of your mind – we can’t wait to read, see, and celebrate what you have to share!
Text submissions are due by Friday, October 10th!
Label your submissions with the following title: (fullname)_(genre)_(title).
All submissions must be sent from a valid UHart email address; however, if you would prefer your work be published anonymously or under a pseudonym, feel free to indicate this in your submission email.
Any submissions that use AI or are plagiarized will be disqualified.
Poetry – Participants are invited to submit original, unpublished poems in any style or form. Poems should be unique and representative of the author’s voice and experience – we want to hear your story, in your words. Please ensure your poem is properly formatted as a .doc or .docx file and submitted to aerie.poetry.submit@gmail.com by the deadline.
Fiction – Writers are invited to submit original, unpublished works of short fiction, flash fiction, or excerpts from longer works. Each entry must not exceed 2000 words in length; excerpts from longer texts are accepted. We welcome writing across a variety of genres (literary, historical, sci-fi, mystery, etc.) Whether your works are grounded or surreal, heartbreaking or hilarious, we’re excited to hear them! Please ensure your piece is formatted as a .doc or .docx file and submitted to aerie.fiction.submit@gmail.com by the deadline.
Other – Writers are encouraged to submit any original works that may not fall into our previous categories. Do you have any personal essays? Book reviews? Play scripts? We want them! Each submission should be under 2000 words. Ensure your works are submitted as a .doc or .docx file, and that the genre (book review, personal essay, play, etc.) is included in the title. All submissions should be sent to aerie.other.submit@gmail.com by the deadline.
Art Submissions are open until November!
