Submit to Letter & Line
Who can submit material?
Although eighty percent of Letter & Line is devoted to student work, twenty percent of each issue is reserved for non-student work: faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to submit along with students.
Anyone who is interested in learning about editing and publishing by actually working on literary publications is encouraged to consider taking Writing 246, Advanced Creative Writing – Editing and Publishing, and WR 249, Advanced Creative Writing – Editing and Publishing II, whose class members form the editorial boards of Letter & Line and Alchemy.
