Call for Submissions for Ashen Egg!
- Monday, October 4th, 2021
Fall is officially upon us! Tis the season of pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween candy, and calls for submissions of undergraduate research and writing!
Submissions are open for The Ashen Egg, an annual journal publishing analytical essays on literature, rhetoric, linguistics, film, and popular culture. Any current WKU undergraduate student may submit scholarly work to The Ashen Egg. Submissions must be endorsed by a WKU English faculty member confirming that the submission is a piece produced for one of the faculty member's courses and that it is worthy for publication.
Manuscripts may range from 750 to 3000 words, though exceptions may be made for submissions of stellar quality. Essays must follow the Modern Language Association style guidelines as defined in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (latest edition). All submissions must be in Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides, and be free of typographical and grammatical errors.
Submissions must be emailed to Dr. Gillian Knoll at gillian.knoll@wku.edu by November 5th at 4:30 pm, and must be accompanied by the submission cover sheet found here to be considered.
