Submissions Guidelines

Eligibility for publication in ABSENCE is open to all full- and part-time students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Penn State Greater Allegheny. Original poetry, fiction, non-fiction and creative non-fiction, visual arts, and photography will be accepted for consideration by the student editors. Previously published works will not be considered. Upon publication, all rights revert to authors/artists; however, ABSENCE reserves the right to republish all materials electronically and to use materials published in the Review to fund its publication. A blind-review process is employed to ensure that all submissions are judged solely on artistic merit. A maximum of 10 submissions per volume can be made to the Senior Faculty Adviser, who removes all biographical information before turning them over to the student editorial staff for consideration.

Preferred means of submission is by email attachment; send to: ABSENCE.psuga@gmail.com.

Final publication prerogative rests solely with the Editor.
