First online issue of Soundings open for submissions

The first online issue of the school’s art and literary magazine, Soundings, is now open for submissions and will be published in early December. Interested students should email their poetry, prose, art or photography to soundings2019@gmail.com by Nov. 25, and will receive a notification of acceptance by Nov. 30.

The Soundings team, consisting of sophomore Manasi Garg, junior Anishi Patel and seniors Anisha Byri, Colleen Feng, Sherrie Shen, Cheryl Wang and Kaitlyn Wang, plan to release three online issues and one print issue over the course of this year.

Wang said that the online issues allow more works to be published because the pieces chosen will not have to fit on a specific print layout; she also hopes that the more frequent online publications will provide greater exposure to both students who submit and to students who read the issue.

“We’re also hoping that people will enjoy reading or looking at their classmates’ work and maybe feel encouraged to share or create their own, and hopefully submit their work for the future online issues,” Wang said.
