Calling All Creative Writers!
Under Construction is accepting submissions for Issue 57!! If you are a current student and write poetry, fiction or creative essays, we'll love to consider your work for publication! If you'd like some help choosing pieces to send, please join the Creative Writing Club on Tuesday, December 10 (anytime from 1:00 PM-3:00 PM). THERE WILL BE FREE PIZZA FOR PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN THIS EVENT! Come to the Campus Center upstairs in room 231 to join this great time.
Several members of the club have been past editors or past authors of Under Construction (and some have been both)! They can help you with this process if you are looking for guidance.
If you want to take a look at some past issues to get ideas of what this will be like, the most recent THREE issues are all online! (The most recent two feature interviews with world famous authors too!!) Here they are.
And what's more, we're looking for editors for our upcoming issue!
The kind of editors we're looking for is not the kind of editor that fixes grammar and punctuation; it's the kind of editor who can think about the value of the creative work and help it get to a larger audience.
If you want to lift up the voices of your community and start building your resume to work in the arts (or transfer to a four-year college to pursue a liberal arts degree of some kind), becoming an Under Construction Student Editor is a great start to that future. It looks excellent on a resume (which we'll even start drafting together in this class)!
All you have to do is register for the Magazine Workshop class, and you'll learn the rest as you go! This class is two credits and meets Goal Area 6 in the transfer curriculum.
