Esprit Submission Information
Esprit, a review of arts and letters, features work primarily by students of The University of Scranton
and is published each fall and spring as a co-curricular activity of the English department.
Manuscripts - Original stories, poems, essays, translations, features, sketches, humor, satire,
interviews, reviews and short plays must be typed, paper clipped at the upper left corner and in an
envelope. All manuscripts, except poetry, must be double-spaced. Every page of the manuscript must
list the title and page number in the upper right corner. The author’s name must NOT appear on the
manuscript or on the envelope. Please include a 3.5 inch disk or CD-R containing each submission
saved in either Word or WordPerfect, and please label the disk with your name and the title(s) of
your work(s).
Artwork - Black and white photographs and pen and ink drawings work best in this format, but
pencil drawings, collages and paintings will be considered. All original work should be submitted
in a plain manila envelope. The artist’s name must NOT appear on the work. Graphic submissions
should not exceed 8 x 12 inches (larger works will NOT be considered). Please include a 3.5 inch
disk or CD-R with digital photography submissions. Please note that the original print will be the
only copy reviewed during the selection process. All graphic submissions should include a simple
mark indicating the orientation of the work on the backside of the print. When work submitted is a
study of, or is otherwise dependent upon, another artist’s work, please supply the other artist’s name
and that work’s title.
All submissions MUST be accompanied by one 3 x 5 card for each genre. The card should include
the following information:
Writer’s or artist’s name

We will consider a maximum of five visual art submissions (art, photography) and five literary
submissions (prose, poetry) per author/artist. Submissions received late, mislabeled, faintly printed,
or without a disk or a complete 3 x 5 card (including the real name of the submitter) will NOT be
considered. Esprit does not accept resubmissions or previously published works.
