The next submission deadline is Wednesday, November 4th at Midnight. If you would like to have a group of your peers read, review, and possibly edit your work you should submit it to us. 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.

Spooky Slam!

Nathan Butters — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:43:00 +0000

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.

Second Workshop!

Nathan Butters — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:21:48 +0000

For our second round of workshops this semester we are going to be starting in the first two weeks of November. If you have a poem or short story you would like to have looked at by a group of your peers then this is a great opportunity to do so. The meeting times will be determined by interest and availability.

If you are interested:

Send an email to Pseudonym.Required {at} gmail(.)com with your name, 3 times that work best for you (Ex: Monday 7-9, Thursday 3:30-5, Sunday All Day), and whether the piece you would like to work on is Fiction or Poetry. Please do this by Tuesday, November 3rd.

Submission Deadline Approaching

Nathan Butters — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:58:02 +0000

The next rolling deadline for submissions is this Wednesday, October 7th at Midnight! If you did not submit a piece the first time around I strongly encourage you to do so this time. Our readers and editors look forward to providing constructive criticism on your works, and I look forward to seeing if we can post them on the site.

On Saturday at 7PM in Beckman Auditorium. Large Print (the joint literary community which includes Lyrical Graffiti, Pseudonym Required, and Tributaries) will be showing the movie Dead Poets Society. Come out and join the writing community. Candy will be provided!

Submit!

Nathan Butters — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:39:19 +0000

We are open for our first round of submissions!

We’ll be accepting them up until Wednesday, September 23rd at 12am. If you’ve ever wondered if your short stories and poetry were ready for publishing you should submit them to us and find out. Our readers and editors look forward to looking at your material and providing constructive feedback.

First Workshop. Get excited!

Nathan Butters — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:11:45 +0000

Pseudonym Required will be hosting their first workshop, starting on Tuesday, September 15. If you have a piece of fiction or poetry that you would like to have reviewed by a group of your fellow writers, you should sign up.

There are two ways to sign up:

The first is to come to the Registered Student Organization fair on Friday the 11th and sign up at our table. Doing this will guarantee you a spot in one of our workshops.

The second way, if you can’t make it on Friday, is to email Pseudonym.Required {at} gmail(.)com with the subject “Workshop.” In the email you should include your name and email, as well as which days work best (ex: Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 6 and 10). You should also say which genre your piece falls in (fiction or poetry). Due to the fact that we may not have enough spots for everyone, those who show up on Friday will be granted priority when being placed in workshops.

One final note, groups will be divided up by 12am Sunday and the list of participants will be emailed to the staff facilitators at that point. It will then be up to the group to find a time to meet and have the first meeting.

Wanted: Readers and Editors

Nathan Butters — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:28:39 +0000

After the meeting on Saturday, the staff decided that we needed to take a step back and try to recruit more people before launching. That being said, everything has been moved back, past the Student Organization Fair on Friday, September 11th. We will be spending the next two weeks recruiting people as readers and editors. If you think you might be interested, please email Pseudonym.Required {at} gmail(.)com.

Starting the year off right!

Nathan Butters — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:31:47 +0000

Our first general meeting will be held on Saturday, August 29th at 6PM in the Dugout. If you are interested in joining, or have any questions please feel free to stop by. Lyrical Graffiti, the campus’ spoken word organization, will be hosting an open mic as part of the meeting. If you have material and would like to perform, please feel free to do so.

Midsummer Update

Nathan Butters — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:00:03 +0000

The website to house submissions has finally been updated to our specifications and is ready for use. With the summer quickly disappearing before us, the editors will try to figure out if we can run a full test of the process before the school year. This is what you’ve all been waiting for. Please be patient while we organize and prepare to set the journal in motion.
