Applause is Now Open For Submissions! Theme: “Unnatural States”
Deadline: February 28, 2025
Applause is an international journal of undergraduate writing staffed by the students of the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. 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. applause.submittable.com/submit
