Undergraduate literary magazine 
now seeking submissions

UH creative writers have a chance to see their words in print by submitting their work to the Glass Mountain publication. 

Five UH students created the first student-run journal of literature for undergraduates. The students have a few faculty advisers to guide them in their decision-making. 

"The idea behind Glass Mountain was to create a source for students to submit their work and have it published," Maureen Sanchez, the executive editor of Glass Mountain, said.

Students can submit poems, fiction and non-fiction; the creators of Glass Mountain hope to include graphic art in the future.

"We wanted to include the art department, which we have; a design class designed our logo, and they are doing the cover art for us," Sanchez said. 

Students can submit any of their writings even if they do not fall into the above categories; the organization is willing to consider any submissions.

"This is a good opportunity for a lot of people. Don't be afraid to submit your work," Sanchez said. 

The title honors of Donald Barthelme, who was one of the founders of the Creative Writing Program and who wrote a short story titled "The Glass Mountain." 

"The story is significant to our purpose. It is about having a challenge and obtaining your goal no matter what," Sanchez said. 

There is a tentative deadline set for Wednesday, but students may submit their work after that time.

Once the publication comes out, there will be a reading in the library and students will be able to purchase it for a small amount.

"This is a benefit for the University, but the only way it will succeed is if the students come together and do it," Sanchez said.

For more information, e-mail glassmountaineditors@gmail.com. Writings can be submitted in the Roy G. Cullen Building in the drop box at Room 229.
