Call for Submissions: Laurel Moon literary magazine

Laurel Moon, Brandeis University's oldest literary magazine, is accepting submissions for its national issue. The editors are looking for original, unpublished work written in English and will consider up to five poems and three prose works from each author, as well as up to fifteen pages of content in another form. Additionally, they will accept ten pieces of artwork and photography per submission. The submissions deadline for the upcoming national issue is October 15, 2019.

Additionally, Laurel Moon will be offering one-on-one feedback to writers who wish to receive guidance on any creative writing piece that they present.

For over twenty years, Laurel Moon has published the best fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry that Brandeis students have to offer. From light-hearted and fun to bleak and desolate, the work from these students ranged widely so that everyone could relate to the meaning behind an undergraduate’s experience. Therefore, we thought that the best way to truly capture that meaning is to allow undergraduates from across the country to submit to our magazine, so we did just that. As of last year, Laurel Moon began accepting submissions from undergraduates enrolled at any accredited US college or university. To continue this budding tradition, we would appreciate if you would forward our call for submissions to students at your university who might be interested in submitting their work.


To see the full submission guidelines and instructions, please see the submissions page on the magazine's website.
