Amaranth - Submission Guidelines

Amaranth is Anne Arundel Community College's Journal for the Creative Arts. It is a student-run and edited journal that is published once a year through funding from the AACC Student Organization and generous donations from Tim and Darlene Barnum and an anonymous donor.

Submission Guidelines

Amaranth is already accepting submissions for the 2012-2013 edition!
Please submit poetry, prose (fiction or creative nonfiction), drama, original music or artwork to: amaranth2013@gmail.com, sacohen3@aacc.edu or gbrown24@aacc.edu.

For your submission to be considered, you must meet the following specifications:

    • Both poetry and prose should be submitted in the body of the e-mail and as an attachment (to save special text formatting)
    • Artwork may be submitted electronically as a .tif file or a .jpeg file
    • When you submit your work be sure to include the following contact information:
      • your name
      • your current home address
      • your current e-mail address
      • your phone number
    • You should either be a current or former student of Anne Arundel Community College to submit work for Amaranth.
    • The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2013.

We strive to represent the diversity of the student body. The work is put through a careful and anonymous review process by the student editors, staff and faculty advisors. Authors will be notified by e-mail if their work is accepted. We maintain flexibility during the layout process to make the most cohesive journal possible; therefore, no work is guaranteed acceptance until the final publication. All authors and artists who submit their work retain individual copyrights.

Amaranth Competitions: $25 prize per category!

Amaranth seeks entries in the categories of: art, one-act play, personal essay, poetry and short fiction. 

You must be a current or former AACC student. Winners will see their work featured in the 2012-2013 issue of Amaranth.
