Poets and Writers, College of the Redwoods’ literary magazine, is currently accepting submissions of original poetry and fiction from community members, as well as staff, faculty, and students.

The submission period is currently open and will be through March 28. Submissions must be submitted electronically. They must be typed and may consist of up to four pieces of work (whether poetry and/or fiction). Short stories or essays are limited to four pages double-spaced. You may submit up to two short stories or essays. Entries should be emailed to david-holper@redwoods.edu (See the website for details on how to do this at http://www.redwoods.edu/departments/english/poets&writers/index.htm and look under Campus Literary Magazines and then Eureka).

Among those whose work is accepted, the first place poem and the first place story will receive prizes of $25 gift certificates (the poetry prize is generously sponsored by Northtown Books of Arcata; the prose prize is sponsored by Booklegger Books of Eureka). These prizes are for both campus and community members, though not for faculty or staff of CR. All authors whose work is accepted will be invited to read at our college-wide celebration on Friday, April 27 at 6 p.m. in Forum Building, Room 100.
