We try to represent a diversity of creative voices from the Iowa State community, so we are open to a wide variety of genres and styles. We print unpublished artists as readily as those already published.

We are always accepting submissions in any creative medium. This includes "typical" literary genres (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) as well as interdisciplinary, electronic (hypertext poetry or fiction, for instance), and visual work (art, photography--slides only, please).

All submissions must be previously unpublished.

Generally, because of the nature of the electronic medium, shorter pieces have better chances of acceptance, but we'll consider anything you care to send us.

Please include some brief information about yourself, your mailing and email addresses, and a SASE if you would like your slides, tapes, or manuscripts returned.

You can submit in one of three ways although we prefer submissions via email or on disk.  We will try to retain artistic formatting
