How to Submit

Upload submissions AND enter a short biography about yourself in the third person (2-3 sentences) in Elysian’s Brightspace! 

​​​

In Brightspace, locate the submission toggle for the short biography and submit 2-3 sentences about yourself. Then, locate the submission toggles for the medium(s) to which you are submitting (i.e.. poetry, one-act play, short or non-fiction, art, photography, or music). Then, upload your files. Each piece of work should be a different file or document. Upload mediums to their corresponding submission boxes. Do not include your name or initials within any documents or titles of files. Untitled work or submissions without bios will not be considered! While we use a double-blind, anonymous review process, accepted pieces will be published and printed with the author's name attached.

​

No hard copy or email submissions, please.

Contact elysian@aurora.edu with any questions! Alumni can submit via email.
