SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED.
We welcome submissions from Biola University students, alumni, and faculty as well as students from Christian colleges all across California. We accept poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction (creative narrative), poetry, and B+W artwork.
**Please note that we will not accept any pieces that contain any form of hate speech or offensive language/imagery.
Please follow our submission guidelines below:
Email submissions to inkslinger.club@biola.edu
In the subject line of the email, please put “22-23: [your piece name(s) – your name].” Your subject should look something like this: “22-23: The Road Not Taken, Birches – Robert Frost.”
In the body of your email, include your name as it should appear in the publication, school, major, and year. (You will not be judged by this information; this is just for our own analytics purposes).
You may submit work from more than one category, but please include each piece in a separate file. For example, if I am submitting two poems and a fiction piece, I would have three separate documents: two documents for the two poems and the fiction piece in a third document.
Label files like this: INK_22-23_[name of medium]_[title]
E.G. INK_22-23_poetry_thewasteland
INK_22-23_fiction_prideandprejudice
INK_22-23_nonfiction_fakename
INK_22-23_art_monalisa
DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE IN THE BODY OF THE DOCUMENT.
Please submit your work as a PDF and Google Doc (shared with kaira.low@biola.edu AND inkslinger.club@biola.edu) for written works and high quality jpegs (recommended 300 ppi) or PNGs for visual work.
For fiction and creative nonfiction, please do not exceed 2000 words.
