Question 6

Am I allowed to submit untitled pieces?

Accepted Answer

Not typically, but we can be swayed. Pitch us a reason why you think your work is best represented without a title, and we can discuss. Otherwise, please be sure to include a visible title with all submissions, including art and photography pieces.

Question 7

Am I allowed to submit pieces anonymously?

Accepted Answer

For logistical purposes, executive members need to know who submitted what. However, we can preserve your anonymity in the published book, and protect it from Editorial Board/Publishing Committee members.
