Submitting to Nass Lit
Each Fall and Spring, we take submissions for our biannual print issue, which features the best student prose, poetry, and art on campus. Please note that we only accept submissions from undergraduates at Princeton University. All work should be submitted to nasslit@princeton.edu, with the subject line “Submission: [Genre],” replacing [Genre] with “Prose,” “Poetry,” “Artwork,” et cetera. Our submissions guidelines are as follows:
Prose and Poetry:
- Submit your work as a Word document and not in the body of an email.
- The document should be titled as follows: “LastName_Genre_Title” for poetry and “LastName_Genre_Title_WordCount” for fiction.
- Do not put your name anywhere within the document itself; we have a blind selection policy.
- Try to keep your submission under 25 pages.
- We accept plays, screenplays and translations.
Art:
- The resolution of any image submitted must be at least 300 dpi.
- If you want to submit an image to be a one-page spread, it must be at least 600 dpi.
- If possible, do not send us art in JPEG or GIF formats, as they will inevitably be lower-quality than a PNG, TIF, or PSD image due to compression.
Essay Guidelines:
Our talented staff writers also produce critical and personal essays for the website throughout the year. If you are interested in writing an essay for the website as a guest contributor, you may submit a pitch, a partial draft, or a completed piece at any time during the academic year to nasslit@princeton.edu. We are selective, but are happy to meet with you in person to talk about your ideas, both during and after the selection process. Notable essays may be reprinted in the print issue, and exceptional guest contributors may be considered for positions on the staff.
