NARRATIVES

our personal experiences

SUBMISSION PROCESS

• Email pitch(es) in paragraph form to the Editor and attach media (photo, gif, video, illustration, etc.) for each submission.

• If you do not provide media, clearly describe your idea for art instead. A Flat Hat photographer or designer will fulfil your request.

  • If media is your NARRATIVES submission (photo story, film, etc.), do not include additional art ideas.

• An editor will reply to approve a pitch or provide feedback.

• The completed piece is due no later than 2 weeks after the editor’s approval. Extensions may be granted.

• Share the finished piece with editing access in a Google Doc or folder.

• Include your preferred name and a short bio.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• Contributors must be enrolled at William and Mary at the time of submission.

• Submitting a pitch or completed work does not guarantee publication. If a piece is on track for publishing, an editor will send a confirmation email.

• If a NARRATIVES contributor requests media from a Flat Hat artist, the contributor’s description will be used as a guide. The Flat Hat artist ultimately decides all stylistic features and aesthetic preferences.

• All submissions are subject to editing and final decisions are made by the Deputy Editor and the Editor-in-Chief.
