Applause [1]
Applause is an award-winning, student-run literary journal founded in 1980 within the English Department at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith (UAFS). The editors want to showcase the best undergraduate writers across the country and the globe. They only consider previously unpublished work and ask for First North American Serial Rights. Work selected will receive publication through their website and national exposure through their social media support systems.
Applause is accepting submissions for their Spring 2025 issue until Feb 28th.
This issue will contain a themed special feature. We are based out of Arkansas, also known as the Natural State, due to our beautiful lakes and rivers, forested mountains, and rich wildlife. For this special feature, we want to see your “Unnatural State,” whatever that may mean. We want work that examines unnatural relationships with the natural world, our personal relationships with the unnatural, our unnatural relationships with ourselves and/or others, or any other “Unnatural State” you want to explore.
