Welcome Back!

Hello readers, writers, and Sheridan students!

We hope that everyone had an amazing winter break! We're looking forward to beginning the new year together.

Issue #7 Submissions

We're super excited to announce that submissions for issue #7 are now open! The deadline is January 31st at 11:59pm. Similar to issue #6 Transit, we are doing an open theme. Our next issue comes out in the early spring, so we're looking to curate a collection of fresh, playful, and inspiring pieces.

Please note, we've also changed some our submission guidelines going forward. Find the full details below, as well as on the submissions page of our website.
