To:


Dear Creative Writing, English, and Arts Faculty,

The literary magazine, Quirk, is seeking submissions for our Spring 2023
issue! We’d appreciate your help spreading the word to all undergraduate
writers and artists associated with your programs. Run by student-editors
at University of the Incarnate Word, Quirk is a print and online journal
showcasing the brightest up-and-coming writers and artists from
undergraduate institutions across the country and internationally.

What We Consider: We accept undergraduate work in fiction, creative
nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. We’re open to any and all subject
matter and especially appreciate diverse perspectives from traditionally
underrepresented groups such as the LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and non-binary
communities, along with people with disabilities and others. All accepted
artists and writers are interviewed and work with our student editorial
staff to ensure their distinct voices reach the widest audience.

Theme: In addition to accepting work in our general categories, this year,
the student-editors of Quirk wanted the journal to reflect the resilience
and strength of the global community during such difficult times, which is
why this issue will also showcase works that highlight the theme of
Adaptation. For this themed category, we are seeking submissions in any
genre that focuses on adaptation in our continually changing society,
particularly those adaptations undertaken and experienced by people from
diverse and underserved backgrounds. A special submission window for this
category will be open; general submissions may also be considered for the
themed category.

Full guidelines can be found on our Submittable portal. Quirk: The Literary
Journal of the University of the Incarnate Word
