Submissions

Want to submit content to Atrium for publication? You’re in the right place.

Our upcoming third issue has open submissions for the following categories: 

  • 3 reported stories
  • 4 personal essays
  • 3 poems 
  • 2 photo essays (7-10 photos) 
  • 1 memoir 

Our deadline for rough draft submissions is October 3rd, and stories must be completed by October 24. Please include plans for multimedia as well. 

If your story doesn’t go on our print issue, it will also be considered to publish on our website. 

We encourage figurative language and creative writing, but all of our work is rooted in narrative non-fiction that includes a few key characteristics: a main character, a conflict, a scene-driven story with dialogue. In addition, these stories should be based in Florida. 

Don’t worry if these elements feel unfamiliar. Our editors are happy to work with you on that. 

In your entry, please include your name, major, year and a quick summary of your submission. For poems, explain the story and format you’re going with. Please leave your phone number so we can reach out to you.

Email all entries to [email protected] and include “SUBMISSION” In the subject line. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to working with you.
