The Daily Bruin

The Wineskin is now accepting submissions! The theme for this semester will be IDENTITY. However, there is no need to be bound by the theme – just send us your best poems, stories, essays and artwork.

The editors are open to a wide range of styles and subject matter, but we are particularly looking for work that pushes boundaries and surprises us with its artistic approach and perspective of the world.

Please submit all poetry, prose, photography, and artwork here. Our submission guidelines are as follows:

• Poetry and prose manuscripts must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document in Times New Roman with a 12-point font. Title your pieces and remove your name from the document.
• Limit all prose to 1,000 words and send no more than five poems per submission.
• For artwork, files should be named with the title of your piece, followed by your name. Remove all watermarks from your work.

Submissions close on Saturday, Nov. 2. Questions? Contact Kiale Palpant at kpalpant16@georgefox.edu.
