Submissions are closed.
Sphere is no longer accepting submissions for its 2022 edition. The submission window for our 2023 publication will reopen in the fall. For a sense of what to expect, here are last year’s submission guidelines:
We accept poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and art from current students at Ohio University. The deadline for submissions is December 11, the Saturday after exam week.
For fiction and creative nonfiction, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- 12-point font, double-spaced, with numbered pages
- Maximum of 4,000 words
- We welcome literary fiction submissions that incorporate experimental or genre elements, but we generally do not publish pure genre fiction (sci-fi, horror, fantasy, etc.).
For poetry, please follow these guidelines:
