The Literary Magazine is accepting submissions!

October is the month where the leaves start to change, the temperature begins to drop, and the nights get longer. All of these changes lend themselves to an element of spookiness which is mirrored in the celebration of Halloween at the end of the month. Write a piece:

  • Where a monster is disguised as a character OR a character is disguised as a monster

  • That takes place somewhere that appears normal upon first glance, but isn’t

  • About a fall (this can be the season, an object falling, or a metaphorical fall like a fall from grace, etc.)

Submit your pieces here! You DO NOT have to respond to the prompts; submit any pieces that you have!

For the club Pharmacy Phlowers, there will be a bin at the homecoming dance for the girls bouquets! It is not mandatory to donate your bouquets but it would be greatly appreciated!

There will be a meeting at the outdoor classroom by the middle school gym on Sunday at 3:30 and it will last about an hour! It is a great service opportunity and will be fun! Thank you!!

See schedule below!

The Literary Magazine is accepting submissions!

October is the month where the leaves start to change, the temperature begins to drop, and the nights get longer. All of these changes lend themselves to an element of spookiness which is mirrored in the celebration of Halloween at the end of the month. Write a piece:

  • Where a monster is disguised as a character OR a character is disguised as a monster

  • That takes place somewhere that appears normal upon first glance, but isn’t

  • About a fall (this can be the season, an object falling, or a metaphorical fall like a fall from grace, etc.)

Submit your pieces here! You DO NOT have to respond to the prompts; submit any pieces that you have!
