The staff of the literary and art magazine of SCSU is looking for student writers and artists to enter submissions.
"The magazine solicits work from all students," said Bill Meissner, "Upper Mississippi Harvest" faculty adviser. "It's a venue for students to have work published in a professional magazine."
"Harvest" is an annual magazine going into its 11th year of publication at SCSU. It includes works of poetry, short fiction, nonfiction, drama, photography and artwork produced exclusively by students of SCSU.
"Submissions are open to anyone on campus," said Ben Doberstein, editor of "Harvest." "We would like the largest selection possible."
There are certain guidelines to follow when entering work into "Harvest." According to the submission guidelines, students submitting poetry, photography and artwork are allowed one to five pieces per person. For short fiction, nonfiction and drama, students may submit one to three pieces each.
"All submissions are done anonymously," Doberstein said.
The writer or artist must include a cover page including personal information as well as the title of each work, but the judges do not know it until after selections are made.
Doberstein describes the judging process as "pretty laid back." The judges come at their own leisure to read and rate entries.
"The panel of judges are people who signed onto 'Harvest,'" Doberstein said. "Anybody can be a judge or reader - there is no prerequisite."
"Harvest" is always looking for ways to fundraise around campus. Doberstein is considering a couple different ideas for fundraising.
"I am willing to set up a kissing booth," he laughed.
Doberstein, as well as other members, hope to play host to an open mic reading where they will gladly accept donations and try to get things off the ground.
The time of release for "Harvest" is generally late fall semester or early spring semester. Doberstein said it is something that depends on submission dates as well as printing.
The submission deadline for "Harvest" is set for Oct. 12. Students may submit their work to Riverview 114, where there is a submission drop box for the publication.
