  • Any information you want to give the editors about your work
  • Contact information
  • A 50 to 75-word third-person bio about yourself or the BC-affiliated individual who created the work. Please tell us your majors/minors, any upcoming work, which classes you’re in, and how long you have been writing or creating art. 
  • For art submission, include the medium of your work.
