THE EDITORS OF AERIE WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE!
“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” — Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland
Calling all creative bodies of UHart! Where were you in 2019? Where will you be in
2035? We want to hear about it in UHart’s literary magazine, Aerie. Whether it be
through photography, fiction, poetry, whatever medium they may choose, Aerie has
been a platform for our students to share their talents with our community. We are
especially interested in pieces that reflect who we are, and the people, places or
moments that have shaped us, particularly through the themes of nostalgia and
becoming. We're accepting up to 5 pieces per person, and that is across all categories,
for you to submit. Aerie is here to make room for your work, your ideas, and your voice
– we can’t wait to see what you have to share!
TEXT SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16TH!
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.
POETRY
Aerie is looking for original, unpublished poems to feature in our 2027 edition. We
welcome work that explores emotions, experiences, and perspectives that are
meaningful to the author. Above all, submissions should be thoughtful and reflective of
the poet’s unique voice. Please ensure your poem is properly formatted as a .doc or .docx
file and submitted to AeriePoe@gmail.com by the deadline.
FICTION
For Aerie's fiction section, we urge you to submit original, unpublished works that have
a minimum of 300 words and a maximum of 1500 words. Works such as playwrights,
flash fictions, short stories, excerpts, etc. fall under this category. All genres are
welcomed; and though we do encourage you to consider making your piece be on brand
with the theme of this year’s magazine, all works are acceptable so send them our way.
Please ensure your piece is formatted as a .doc or .docx file and submitted to
AerieFic@gmail.com by the deadline.
