Youth Art & Literary Magazine: Accepting Submissions!

Are you an artist or an author? Submit your original artwork, poetry, short stories, or personal essays for a chance to be published in our first ever edition of the Blue & Berry Bulletin, WAPL's Art and Literary Magazine.

Please email submissions to egossell@wauclib.org. Handwritten or printed copies of writing, as well as artwork to be scanned and returned, can also be submitted in-person in Kid City. For 3D art mediums (such as jewelry or ceramics), please take a photograph and submit via email. We will be accepting submissions until the 24th of October, and starting November 4th, physical copies will be available for pick-up in Kid City, and a digital copy will be available online.

No in-person attendance is required to have your work accepted, but feel free to register for the program to keep up to date on reminders, deadlines, acceptance, and publication.

Please keep in mind:

1. Only submit your own original work. If it's suspected your work is plagiarized, it will not be eligible for publication.
2. While we here at WAPL love fanart and fanfiction, for copyright reasons, please do not submit fan creations for review; we would like your own original characters or stories. Referencing pop culture or deriving elements from fairytales and myths is okay!  
3. Please use discretion in your choice of thematic material, imagery, and language in the work you submit. Because this magazine will include work from younger creators and be distributed to WAPL visitors, we will not be able to publish works that are not appropriate for a wide audience.
4. For long-form writers (short stories and essays), submissions should be no more than 2,500 or 5 printed pages. PNGs are preferred for art submissions, but JPGs and GIFs will also be accepted.
