Submit your creative writing by February 28!
We are soliciting public readings of creative writing pieces including poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that take no longer than 5 minutes to read aloud.
If selected, these pieces will be performed publicly at the Creative Writing Showcase at our Undergraduate Conference on Research and Creative Practice to be held on April 17, 2025.
We will accept the best submissions of a range and variety of themes.
- All registered Fitchburg State undergraduate students are eligible to submit work for the Creative Writing Showcase; you do not need to be an English major/minor, or be taking a writing class, to submit work.
- The invited audience for the conference includes university students, faculty, and members of the community. Therefore, please ensure that the language and themes in your writing are appropriate for a general audience.
- Submissions will be judged through a blind review process (i.e., authors' names will be removed from submissions before they are sent to faculty reviewers).
- This is a competitive submissions process; meaning that not all submissions will be accepted into the Creative Writing Showcase.
If you have any questions about the Creative Writing Showcase, please contact us at ugrad-conference@fitchburgstate.edu.
