jabberwocky journal

Students are invited to submit to "Jabberwocky," the official, student-run undergraduate literary journal of the English Department, now through March 8. 

The literary journal publishes the best pieces of criticism, fiction, media, nonfiction, and poetry in order to create a uniform publication that tells a unique story every year. Submissions are encouraged to break genre boundaries in order to express diverse perspectives in a creative form. Criticism and non-fiction can be any type of essay, whether personal or academic. 

Media can be in any form, including photography, paintings, mixed media, sculptures, graphic art, drawings, and more. 

With a publication each spring, "Jabberwocky" showcases the creativity and talent of writers, poets, and artists UMass Amherst has to offer. All UMass undergraduates are encouraged to submit their work.

Guidelines for submitting are as followed:

  • Title the piece
  • Do not put any personal information in the document
  • Keep submissions under 2,500 words
  • Submit each piece of literature as an individual PDF file
  • Submit media as a high-quality JPG/JPEG

You can submit up to 3 pieces of criticism/nonfiction, 3 pieces of fiction, 6 poems, and an unlimited amount of media.  The deadline to submit work is Friday, March 8, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
