FAQ

• Who can submit?

Only San Francisco State University students can submit. If you are a current student, you can submit. If you have recently graduated, you may submit to the first issue published after your graduation.

• How can I join the staff?

As an SFSU student, you must first take CW 640. Then if a position opens up, you may apply. Every semester the Fiction and Poetry Editor positions usually become available while the Editor in Chief and Managing Editor positions do not. If a position is not filled, the Transfer team will solicit Creative Writing majors to fill the positions.

• I'm an SF State student. Aren't I guaranteed to be published?

No, you are not guaranteed to be published. The decision process is in the hands of the poetry and fiction editors. Occasionally, an executive decision to publish or not publish something will be made by the Editor in Chief. * Please do not submit more than the maximum number of works for each respective genre. If you submit more than the maximum number of works the editors will only review the first few of your submissions. Thank you.
