Dear students,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are rejoiced to announce that MUSE is now open for business<\/s> submissions! Many new editors have joined the team, so don\u2019t worry about being too creative \u2013 we\u2019re ready to handle any kind of written art. \ud83d\ude0c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have written anything in English recently, whether it be articles on issues that you\u2019re passionate about, short stories, poetry, recipes, reviews, or even artwork, we want it. If you want to change up the rhythm of academic writing, try your hand at creative texts, or just have the opportunity to have your work and voice published, then MUSE is for you! For example, if you have written a creative assignment for a class, that is something we like to showcase.
There is no word limit and authors have the option to be credited using initials, a pen name, or anonymously. You can also add a picture you\u2019ve taken yourself, or a free license one, to illustrate your words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
