Deadline For Bordertown Submissions

Honors Senior Adam Stratton has an important message for all MSSU students:

I used to be a salesman of sorts, so here’s a try for old time sake to see if I’ve still got it:

Have you ever wanted to make a name for yourself? Have you been looking for a way to express yourself? Would you like to start something that could build into a career? Would you like to show your fellow students what you can do?

Well have we got a deal for you!

bordertown is a literary journal written by Southern students and alumni for Southern students and alumni. bordertown is the new name for the old Winged Lion, and we think that it is a better way to showcase our literary talent. bordertown is looking for your work. We are accepting submissions of poetry, prose, and creative non-fiction for our next issue. Each author can submit up to 5 poems and 3 prose pieces. Each prose piece is limited to 7,000 words. The due date is November 13.

With its inaugural issue bordertown tried to capture the history and feel of this area, and we plan to carry on that theme while adding some exciting things with this issue that will make it something our university can be proud to publish and you would be proud to have your work in. bordertown is a free publication and copies are scattered around campus. There are no fees to submit.

All Southern students and alumni are encouraged to submit their work. Submissions must be typed, and can be dropped off in Hearnes Hall room 300, or emailed as a Microsoft Word attachment to brown-j(at)mssu.edu

If you have any questions, please ask me or Dr. Brown, or look for the fliers posted all over campus, especially in Hearnes Hall.

Thank you
Adam Stratton
