Submission Guidelines
Please submit up to five pieces at a time to hcmsubmissions@miamioh.edu. This can be anything—art, photography, poetry, short stories, creative nonfiction, comics, and more. You can keep submitting until we accept up to five pieces for the upcoming volume.

We will send an email confirmation within a few days of submission. We may have to hold onto work beyond the submission period, but we'll let you know if this needs to happen.

Our deadline for submissions is February 1st, 2025 at 11:59 pm!
