Send a Submission
At the heart of the anthology is the creative minds that come up with their wonderful work. We're always on the look-out for short stories, poems and even illustrations!
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested, despite your level of experience. This is because if successful, your work will not only be published, but be distributed internationally! (South Sudan and England.)
So don't be shy, keep an eye out to see what this year's theme will be and then give it a go!
For anthology specific submissions, use the button below. Or, for general submissions check out our new letterbox page.

Buy an Anthology
The Anthologies are a collection of high-quality creative writing and illustrations from the students and staff at the University of York and Juba. On top of bagging yourself a great deal, you'll also be helping the Anthology to continue its great work and provide an accessible, creative outlet to all.
All profits made go back into next year's anthology and cover the costs of production, shipping the anthologies to our partners in Juba and event organisation.

BECoME A MEMBER
We are eager for more people to get involved in the publishing committee based here at the University of York. This is a great opportunity to get involved in a creative writing scene, as a publisher.
Not only will being part of internationally published anthology be a great CV boost for any career, it will also give those interested in this line of work a unique experience to make real publishing decisions, due to the small, intimate nature of our committee.
