FAQ

We are a student-run literary and arts magazine at Crafton Hills College that publishes work sent in by artists in the community, and beyond. 

A literary and arts magazine is much like it sounds. We are dedicated to publishing different forms of literature and art, now including submissions of music and lyrics, illustrated fiction, and creative non-fiction.

To name a few of the different kinds of art that we publish: prose, poetry, creative nonfiction, illustrated fiction, photography, visual and digital art including paintings, photography, drawings, pottery, sculptures, music, and lyrics.

In short, anyone. We focus mainly on our community near Crafton Hills College, but we would love to read, look at, watch, and hear your submissions no matter where you are located! If you have any piece of work that you would believe would fit our 2024 theme of Unmasking, please submit it!

Yes, when we set a theme for each edition, we are hoping to tell a story that fully explores the meaning of the theme and its various interpretations. We require each submission to have some connection to the theme to be published but we look for connections in the most unexpected places.

We will accept your submissions via email SCRsubmissions@gmail.com with a subject line containing the type of submission (art, poetry, music, literature, etc.).

Along with the submission of your work we also ask that you submit a cover page containing your name, address, email address and a 50-word, third person biography. You may also include a short introduction to your piece.

If you are submitting a work of music include a digital file and if possible, a link to Soundcloud, YouTube, etc. with lyrics. 

The submission deadline for the magazine is at the end of March.

We try and get back to our participants as soon as possible but the final date that you will hear back from us is by the end of April. 

We ask that you submit no more than 8 pages of Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, Flash Fiction, or Illustrated Fiction, 5 pieces of Art and Photography, 5 pieces of Poetry, or 3 songs. 

You are more than welcome to resubmit a new piece of work. If you wish to resubmit the same piece before the final deadline, we would like to see significant updates and revisions. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any submissions past the deadline date.
