We accept submissions from young scholars in the Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication (WRTC) program at JMU as well as from students in comparable, stand-alone programs across the United States. We also welcome and encourage submissions from first-year writers. 

Submissions are accepted during the fall semester of each academic year, and each new issue is published near the end of the spring semester.

Why submit?

• A chance to be published in a peer-reviewed journal
• An opportunity to start a dialogue with other student writers
• Exposure in a national undergraduate journal
• Bragging rights
• Feedback from a dedicated team of editors

Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed.

Please submit alphabetic text essays in MLA or APA style. Include a "References" or "Works Cited" page with multimodal submissions.

We are happy to accept the following file types: 

• Audio: .mp3 or .wav
• Word: .docx or .doc
• Images: .jpeg or .png
• Videos: link to YouTube or Vimeo

Submissions are now closed for this year. We will start accepting submissions again in August 2025.
