Indiana Review Online seeks submissions of poetry, short prose (fiction and non-fiction), and art from undergraduate writers.* Indiana Review, in collaboration with Indiana University-Bloomington’s Literary Editing & Publishing class, will curate an online space for emerging writers and artists from across the country and around the world. We are open to a variety of styles–everything from realism and satire to the supernatural and experimental forms. We feel strongly about representing diverse voices and identities, including young writers of color, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and women. Give us your carefully strange writing: your nature poems and political poems, your dark humor fiction, your personal essays about pop culture, family, fairy tales, etc. We especially encourage previously unpublished authors to submit.
Submissions are free and open from FEBRUARY 8 to MARCH 20, 2018. This issue of Indiana Review Online will be published on the Indiana Review website in April 2018. We look forward to showcasing some of the best student-written prose, poetry, and art of the current moment.

Would you please tell me how a person who is no more an undergraduate can submit his work? If the process is same, what about the university email then. Please reply at the earliest. Thanks!
Sorry we didn’t see this earlier–our submission period is over. It’s easier to reach us on twitter or via email. We have a half-k prize in July–be sure to check that out. You don’t need a university email to submit.
