Fall 2024/Spring 2025 Call for Papers

Fall 2024/Spring 2025 Call for Papers

If you are a KPU student who has written an essay in a 2000-, 3000-, or 4000-level English course in either Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 that you would like to submit it for consideration, please follow the submission instructions. There is information "For Authors" on a tab to the right of this page (you will be asked to register with the site before submitting). Under the "About" tab on the top of this page you will find a link for "Submissions".  

Alight seeks to highlight the diversity of the voices and perspectives that enliven English courses at KPU. To that end, the journal welcomes submissions that focus on any text or topic that you studied: novels, short stories, poems, plays, films, graphic novels, works of non-fiction.

Your submission can be a research-based essay (with secondary sources), but feel free to submit original close readings as well. Secondary sources are not a requirement. There is no maximum or minimum word count.

Please proofread your submission carefully. If your essay includes secondary sources (and remember, this is not a requirement), please use MLA format (9^th edition) for citations.

Fall 2024/Spring 2025 submissions will be considered for the 2025 issue. The deadline to submit is May 15, 2025. Only one submission per student, please.

 

Alight is not accepting creative writing submissions at this time, so please do not submit your own works of fiction or poetry.
