Submissions

12th Street, New School’s Undergrad Literary Journal, is looking for work exploring the intersections between writing and democracy. In the New School tradition, we consider this to be a broad exploration that can include overtly political pieces as well as more personal work. All New School Undergrads are eligible to submit.

Send your writing, visual art, and new media work to our award winning print and online journal. Submissions received before November 16th will be considered for both the print and online journal. All work submitted after November 16th will be considered for online only. If you wish your work to be considered for print or online only please specify in your submission.

The print edition of 12th Street is published once per year, and is sold through Barnes & Noble. We are looking for personal, political, and thought provoking fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and 2D visual art.  For written work we recommend between 250 – 10,000 words, double spaced, with numbered pages. For visual art submissions, please send a high res (300 dpi) jpeg file and  provide a checklist if submitting more than one image. Include details such as material, dimensions and title.

12th Street online runs new content weekly. We are looking for timely work, reviews of all things media, and experimental pieces that engage online readers in new and interesting ways. Please consider submitting videos, slideshows, pictures, interactive work, and written pieces that challenge what text can do online.

Undergrads looking to submit are encouraged to read previous 12th Street editions available at The New School Writing Center (room 510, 66 West 12th street) or by visiting www.12thstreetonline.com.

All submissions are reviewed anonymously. Feedback is available for all work submitted regardless of whether or not if it is published.

To submit, or if you have any questions please email:  submit@12thstreetonline.com. Please submit your work as a  Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx).

12th Street began in the 1940s and was relaunched five years ago. In 2011, 12th Street won the Director’s Prize award for both design and content at the annual Association of Writers and Writing Programs conference (AWP).

Both the print and online editions are edited and published by Riggio: Writing and Democracy students within the New School Writing Program. For more information on the program visit: http://newschool.edu/riggio
