​Q: What genres are usually published in the literary magazine?
A: All genres and forms of art and writing are published, including but not limited to poetry, personal essays, scripts, songs, short stories, paintings, multi media artwork, sculptures, jewelry, etc.
​Q: How are pieces rated by the staff?
A: Pieces are rated on a one to five scale, with the most highly rated pieces being considered for publication in the magazine. However, not all highly rated pieces are published due to the high amount of submissions.
​Q: How often do we meet?
A: In the beginning of the year, we meet every other Tuesday. As the school year progresses, we generally meet every Tuesday after school, and attendance is very important in terms of becoming a regular staff member. Normally a meeting is from 2:30 to 3:15 in C204 (upstairs forum room). 
​Q: Can I submit an untitled piece?
A: Yes, you can submit an untitled piece, however it is extremely discouraged. Your piece would be considered more unique and complete if it had a title, and it would be easier to find it in the table of contents (if it is published). ​
Q: When is the deadline?
A: The deadline for submissions to the literary magazine is not fully determined until early second semester, however writing deadlines tend to be around late March with art deadlines tending to go into late April.
