We will host another series of workshops this semester for students who are interested in receiving direct feedback on a single piece. The workshops will consist of 3-9 people who will get together as many as 3 times over the course of the month of February and into early March. Each session will be guided by a member of the organization, who will also have a piece up for discussion. If you are interested in being involved please email Pseudonym.Required {at} gmail(.)com (Include your name, whether you prefer to work with fiction or poetry, and what days you are most likely to be free). We look forward to hearing from you.
Don’t forget that we have our next submission deadline on January 27th.

With break over and the new semester beginning I would like to let everyone know that we have our first submission deadline coming up on January 13th. If you’ve written something over break, or have something you wanted to keep until after you received feedback in class, now is the time to send it in. Our readers and editors are anxious to give you feedback.
Once this deadline starts we will revert to our regular schedule, where deadlines are every other Wednesday.

We look forward to working on your pieces and hope to see an increase in the volume of submissions over the course of this semester.

On Thursday, October 29th there will be a slam at 7:30 in the Hansen Student Center. There will be candy, creepy things, dead poets, music, insanity, and of course, great poetry in the form of a double feature. That’s right, featured between the open mic and the slam will be IWU’s own Nathaniel Strauss and Stephanie Nudelman. Come and support your fellow writers. We look forward to seeing you there.
Side note: if you would like to compete in the slam please bring one poem to read/perform.
