Call for Submissions

The Pick encourages submissions from all departments and from students at all levels.

To be considered for publication in The Pick, works must be submitted in one of two ways:

• Faculty members may submit student works they feel are exceptional.

• Students may submit works themselves with a faculty member’s approval.

Upon submission, all works are subject to an anonymous, peer-review process, wherein the editorial board is looking for quality, content, organization, and creativity. Students whose works are conditionally accepted shall be required to meet with a member of the editorial board to discuss necessary revisions prior to publication.

All submissions must have been originally created in fulfillment of a Southeastern course assignment and be accompanied by proper submission documentation and release forms. The release form can be accessed by clicking here. Electronic copies of documentation can be emailed to [email protected].

• Students may submit as many works as they wish; however, only one work per student shall be published in each issue.
• Work that has been previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere shall be ineligible for publication in The Pick.
• All submissions must have been originally created in fulfillment of a Southeastern course assignment.
• The General Submission Form must be completed in its entirety for any work to be considered for publication.
• Work shall be submitted as an electronic copy in Word format and sent by email attachment to [email protected] or through The Pick‘s website at english.selu.edu/pick/
• Works must adhere to the most recent edition of one of the following citation styles: MLA (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychological Association), Chicago Manual of Style, or Kate Turabian’s A Manual for Writers.
