call for submissions: Greenville College's new journal, Scrib

We would like to invite you, your students, and your colleagues to participate in an exciting new artistic venture. Scrib, GC’s first online literary journal, is accepting submissions for its debut issue in spring 2014. The journal accepts work from students and faculty in all schools within the CCCU network and beyond. We want to see writing, art, music, and videos that explore the human experience with authenticity, connect with the reader on a personal level, and linger in the viewer’s mind long after reaching the end. 

The journal kicks off this month with a special contest for high school and college students. The Live Arts contest encourages students to produce creative work that celebrates the interaction of art and life. Grand prize winners will be published in two of GC’s multimedia publications, Scrib and The Vista.

See the Live Arts tab at scriblerus.greenville.edu to learn more or submit work to the contest.

We look forward to working with you. For more information about the journal and how to get involved, please contact Scrib Rachel Heston-Davis (rachel.davis@greenville.edu) or Alexandria LaFaye (alexandria.lafaye@greenville.edu).
