Sneak Peek: Winter 2013 Cover

Winter 2013 Submissions Closed

A few days ago the submissions period to Issue 4 closed.  Again we are happy to say to all those who submitted: thank you!

Another submission period has come and gone.  We have some really exemplary work lined up for the "Nighttime" issue of Episodic, and we have yet to finish reviewing all of the submissions.  So I expect that even my current, very high expectations will be exceeded by the time everything is said and done (or should I say read and done?—ba dum tss).

If you didn't have a chance to submit this round, or you have submitted but you do not make it into the Winter 2013 issue, do not despair—Episodic publishes three times a year!  More opportunities await.

By December, all notification emails will be sent out by the editors and the fourth issue of Episodic will be ready for the public!
Sneak peaks are to be anticipated!

Winter 2013 Theme: Nighttime 

When night falls, to me, the world seems to be exhaling.  It's a subtle shift, but the most substantial and impactful shift of the entire day.  Transforming our world from a place of clarity and light, to shadows and dark.  Think about the way light travels in the darkness.  Think about the way in which night becomes a world unto itself.  Tell us a story about this world that will captivate us.  What has your relationship with this latter part of the day looked like?  If you could say something to the night; if one evening, the Night knocked upon your door, what would you have to say about him (or perhaps, you think, her)?

We continue to encourage artists submitting to include a visual and a written reflection.  Photograph and poem, sketch and story, etc.

Remember, you have two options in submitting to Episodic.  You may submit to be included in the thematic section, or the Artists' Gallery.  Please remember to review the submission guidelines found in our FAQ before you email us.

Thank you!

Episodic is OPEN to submissions!

Deadline: November 15, 2013

Happy submitting!

Submitting to Episodic

Since our media expansions there are now two outlets for submitting to Episodic: (1) the digital magazine, and (2) the Tumblr blog.

Currently digital magazine submissions are closed (look out for it to reopen mid-September) but in the meantime if you would like to be a part, check out the two opportunities available on our Tumblr page, The Smaller Pictures Project and Episodes.

The Smaller Pictures Project requires a two to three sentence snippet of advice on how to make the most of everyday.  Find out more, here.

Episodes requires a photograph and short reflection or description (250 word max) on that captured moment.  Find out more, here.

All the best in your everyday ventures!

Sneak Peek: Summer 2013 Cover

Summer 2013 Submissions Closed

To all those who submitted: thank you!

Another wonderful submission period is now behind us.  And a full one!  It's a little hard for me to believe that this is our third issue coming up!  Disbelief aside, I'm grateful for this next opportunity to share some beautiful, thoughtful work with the online world.  And I am very excited about the final product ahead of us.

If you didn't have a chance to submit this round, or submitted but do not make it into the Summer 2013 issue, do not despair—Episodic publishes three times a year!  The opportunities are abundant.  

Now we're kicking it into high gear.  By July, all notification emails will be sent out by the editors and the third issue of Episodic will be ready for the public!
Sneak peaks are to be anticipated!

Submissions end at 11:59 p.m. today!!

So keep sending them in!

Episodic is OPEN to submissions!

Deadline: June 15, 2013

Happy submitting!

Coming Up: 

It's been a long and crazy break between April and now.  In this time, two of the three staff members of Episodic have begun the transition from college to the so-called "real world" (goodbye undergraduate status, we wave goodbye to you!).  With so much uncertainty ahead it's been nice to remember that Episodic remains, and encouraging, for me at least, to think again on what Episodic means.  Big life events like graduations have a way of pulling in memories from all along the path of life.  I have found my mind wandering through all sorts of little stories in my past: the day I heard about my university, my first truly terrible paper grade (History course first semester freshman year), the time I cried sitting by the lion fountain, my first times meeting my best friends there, when the earth quaked while I sat in my advisor's office, and the paths of all the relationships that formed, grew, fell away/still grow on today.  I find this feeling to be a little overwhelming, very humbling, and incredibly beautiful.  I encourage you too, readers, to take a break today—ten or so minutes—to think about the experiences that stick out in your minds—what has made you who you are, gotten you where you are, reading this little blurb today?

Back to scheduled announcement-making: tomorrow we will announce the theme for Episodic's third issue, Summer 2013.  I'm excited!  Are you excited?  Get excited!

It's Out!

Spring 2013 Submissions Closed

To all those who submitted: thank you!

It has been a few days now since the end of our Spring 2013 submission period.  I, for one, could not have been more impressed with the quality of material we received.  The visual and literary art we've reviewed has been a pleasure to read and see.  

If you didn't have a chance to submit this round, or submitted and did not make it into the Spring 2013 issue, do not dispair—Episodic publishes three times a year!  The opportunities are abundant.  

Now we're kicking it into high gear.  By April, all remaining notification emails will be sent out by the editors and the second issue of Episodic will be ready for the public!
Stay tuned for sneak peaks!
