There is also a $250 writing contest due January 2015

Brainchild‘s primary prerequisite for submissions is quality, and our standards are the calling card of our magazine. We represent the Mid-East Honors Association, which means that we only publish honors students in the mid-east region of the country—from Illinois to Pennsylvania and from Michigan down to Virginia. This area comprises over 200 honors colleges and programs whose students we can only accept submissions from. And though our submission base is small, our readership is diverse and growing, and this has helped build Brainchild into the premier undergraduate-only literary and arts magazine in the country. This means that any individual submitting to us will have a higher chance of publication in our magazine than in almost any other, and they have the chance to be read by a highly intelligent readership that is committed to the arts. If your work is of a superior quality—you will find a home in Brainchild.

We encourage you to go to brainchildmagazine.org and submit to us through our Submittable page. There you will find a list of writers and artists whose work best fits our publication. Our submission period will run until January 15.

If you have any questions or queries regarding content, please feel free to email us at editor@brainchildmagazine.org, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. You can also keep up with any news we release by following our accounts on Facebook (www.facebook.com/KSUbrainchild) and Twitter (@ksu_brainchild). We look forward to your submissions and the opportunity to work with you.

Honors courses for spring: still open

by

If you plan to graduate with Honors distinction, then you need to take six Honors or 4000-level courses by the end of your sophomore year (in most cases). We still have room in most of our spring Honors courses. Soon I’ll open them up to non-Honors students, so this is your last chance. If you’re in Honors but not taking Honors courses, please email or comment below to let me know why.

Please note that we added an English 1110H with Dr Hughes to the schedule. It’s a popular version of this course, which fulfills the first-year writing requirement.
