IWT Journal: Writing from the Inside OutIn 2006, the Institute launched a journal, Writing from the Inside Out, which will be available once a year, to showcase and celebrate the writing of teachers who attend our workshops. Please send us a piece for consideration for the 2009 issue. Almost since the Institute's inception in 1982, we've wished for a forum to share some of the thoughtful and exciting writing that happens during the workshops. As a participant in a past workshop, you know that much of this writing is shared during the day. But it's rare that we get to hear writers from other workshops, and even rarer to receive a copy of the pieces you most like. That's why the Institute started Writing from the Inside Out, and why we hope you'll want to be a part of it. The deadline for the 2008 issue has passed. The deadline for the 2009 issue is September 26, 2008. We're eager to exhibit the wide range of interests and styles that writers practice at the Institute, so we hope you will take the time to send in a piece. Please see below for information about how to format submissions and what information we need from you. In the meantime, we wish you the very best in your writing and teaching.
Call for SubmissionsWriting from the Inside Out only publishes pieces that began during a workshop or conference sponsored by the Institute for Writing and Thinking at Bard College. [This workshop may have taken place at Bard or have been led at your school by an Institute Associate, anytime since 1982.] We only accept submissions not previously published elsewhere. While submissions must have begun during an Institute workshop, we gladly accept pieces that have been extended, revised, or further developed since the workshop took place. Our primary goal is to produce a journal that conveys the flavor of the Institute's work, but pieces must also stand on their own. Texts that respond too narrowly to specific workshop prompts may need revision to make sense for a later audience. Most pieces accepted for publication will go through an editing process during January and February. In addition, if your piece is accepted, you'll be invited to write a process piece, which will accompany your work in the final publication. Writing from the Inside Out publishes work in almost every genre, and also work that defies genre. We seek the widest range of styles and approaches, from critical to exploratory, comic to serious, poems, stories, memoirs, essays, reviews, and beyond. We cannot accept multiple submissions. Authors may submit one piece for consideration during any calendar year. Writing from the Inside Out is published at-cost, generating no profit to the Institute. Authors whose work is selected will receive two copies of the journal, but no other payment. To submit a piece for consideration, please send a hard copy only to the address listed below. (We will not be able to return hard-copy submissions.) Please include your name, e-mail address, workshop, and mailing address.
