Calliope, West Virginia’s undergraduate literary magazine, is looking to publish the best fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, as well as artwork, from WVU’s undergraduate students.
Students can submit up to three pieces of prose (fiction or creative nonfiction), with each piece no more than 2000 words. Students may also submit up to five poems, with length limited to 500 words each. Calliope is also accepting artwork, up to three pieces of artwork (photographed) per student.
Any undergraduate student, full or part-time, may submit to Calliope. Students should send their work as email attachments to wvucalliope@gmail.com. The deadline is December 17 at 11 p.m.
“We are hoping to create an edition of Calliope this year that not only shows off the wonderful pieces of writing and art that students at WVU create, but an issue that people will want to read over and over again,” said Calliope editor-in-chief Christine Schussler, a senior and native of Milton, W.V. “Our staff is so excited to read all of the submissions and to produce an outstanding magazine.”
“This will be Calliope’s twenty-second issue, and given the enthusiasm and dedication of its editors, it should be one of the best,” said Calliope faculty advisor Mark Brazaitis, an associate professor of English and the director of WVU’s Creative Writing Program.
