Submission Guidelines 

Reading and Review Periods

The Editorial Team at Avalon accepts submissions for two periods of time throughout the year:

• Late August to mid-October for our Fall issue

• Late January to mid-March for our Spring issue

The specific dates will change from year to year, and we'll post them toward the beginning of the Fall semester and the beginning of the Spring semester for reach respective review period.

Submissions for the Spring 2024 issue are currently closed. Please check back in late August or early September for a chance to submit for our Fall 2024 issue.

Submission Guidelines

• All submissions must be original and not part of an existing intellectual property (IP).

• All submissions must be the direct creation of the author or artist and not that of AI (such as ChatGPT). However, you can certainly use AI in the brainstorming or early drafting process.

• We accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know if a piece of yours we are considering is accepted elsewhere.

• Include only one work in each submission. For example, if you want to submit three poems, you'll need to submit three times.

• If you ever wish to withdraw your work f consideration, that's no problem. Simply email us at avalon@su.edu to let us know.

• For prose, poetry, and short plays:

  1. No longer than 10 pages

  2. Double spaced

  3. Times New Roman or other standard font

  4. Word Document format (such as .docx)

• For visual art:

  1. Only .jpg or .png files

  2. Submissions must be high resolution (1080p or higher)

• Any work published by Avalon is still the full intellectual property of the original author or creator. You own it! You're just letting us show it off to the world.

As always, the Avalon crew is reachable at avalon@su.edu. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
