We will be accepting submissions again starting in the Fall. Please check back then for new details.
Walkabout is CU Boulder's creative arts journal for undergraduate and graduate students. We will publish literary works: poetry, prose & every hybrid. That means classical and experimental are accepted. Short stories, pieces of novels, screenplays, essays, interviews, and interesting journalism.
We also take visual arts. Lots and lots of visual arts. Sketches, paintings, photography, pictures of your sculptures, pictures of you dancing, etc. Must render well in black and white.
We are very open to what we will accept, but we do have some guidelines:
*We can only accept previously unpublished submissions from CU
students in any major.
*Please submit up to seven poems, fewer than twenty pages of
fiction, fewer than twenty pages of creative non-fiction, and
visual arts using a jpeg file. You can submit work from different
categories (for example, you can submit fiction as well as creative
non-fiction).
*We prefer e-mail submissions. Please e-mail your submission to
walkaboutmag@gmail.com. Make sure that your submission is
NOT in the body of the e-mail, and ONLY attached as a .doc
(Microsoft Word document). Please identify the category of your
work in the Subject line (ex. Subject: Walkabout Fiction
Submission).
*If you are unable to submit via e-mail, there is a Walkabout
mailbox for paper copies in Hellems 101. Please include two copies
of your work, and mark the category of your work. Also include
an e-mail address that we can contact you at. Our box is on the
far right at the bottom on the wall of mailboxes. Hard copy
submissions will not be returned to you.
*If you have a piece of artwork that you would like us to see, but do
not have the means to send it to us via e-mail, please contact us at
*Authors and artists, you retain the rights after we have published
your work. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please tell us. We
can only accept previously unpublished work.
*Our deadline was December 5th, 2008. You will receive an
e-mail within one week of when you submit letting you know that
we have received your work. We will contact you about
our decision via e-mail next semester, and we will be publishing
the journal next Spring.
If you have any questions, please e-mail us at walkaboutmag@gmail.com. We read and answer all e-mails within a couple days.
Thank you for your submission! We look forward to reading your best work!
