Submit to the SWR

Beginning November 7, 2011, the Story Week Reader will be accepting
submissions for its annual publication to be released in conjunction
with the Story Week Festival of Writers: 2012. In the past seven
years, SWR has given valuable exposure to over a hundred Columbia
students. We are looking for more diverse voices from Columbia
College's Fiction Writing Department. This is you. Submit.

SUBMISSIONS
We're looking for Columbia College's best graduate and undergraduate work in fiction, creative non-fiction, one-act plays and stories in graphic form. These short pieces should be arresting, memorable, and able to stand on their own. They may contain the characteristics of any story, but must stay at 750 words or fewer. Graphic Form Stories are limited to two pages. No previously published works allowed. Please limit your submissions to two works.
