CRWROPPS Post: Applause (University of Arkansas-Fort Smith)
We are excited to share that Applause, the national literary arts and culture magazine housed at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith (Est. 1980), is currently accepting submissions from undergraduate students around the country/world as we work toward publishing issue 32 this spring. We would be honored if you would share this information with your students. We are accepting submissions until 3/14/2022.
Applause is an annual, full-online journal with a strong web platform allowing us to offer an immersive reading experience as we showcase in each issue the writing that moves us most during our reading period. We acquire First North American Serial Rights. We pay $25 per contributor. Work selected for publication will receive both publication and national exposure through our social media support systems. Our response time is approximately one to three months.
Each annual issue is a (loosely) themed issue. Our current call for submissions is as follows:
Happy Tears
During our 2021-2022 reading cycle, we want to feel your happy tears that help us cry our own. We're looking for poems, stories, essays, and artwork that get us giggling, get us laughing until we cry, that make us want to say to someone, "Hey, I know you need some good, check this out."
Happy tears can come from anywhere on life's pendulum and we want to see the gamut of what can constitute happy tears as a theme for our 32nd issue. We're looking for life's nuanced moments crafted in ways that make us shake our heads or wish the story were nonfiction if it is fiction, the kind of nonfiction story so funny and weird that it can't be made up, the kind of poems that are both, and pieces of art and photography that make our bodies smile.
Please contact Dr. Christian Anton Gerard at Christian.Gerard@uafs.edu if you have any questions about our magazine. This Submittable link will take you and/or your students to Applause's guidelines and submissions page where any undergraduate enrolled at a university anywhere in the world can submit work for consideration: https://applause.submittable.com/submit
