The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS) Call for Submissions

The PLS publishes student writing from all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM.

Since its inception, CSUSM has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing; students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper created The Pride Literary Supplement to give students a chance to publish critical and theoretical writing, creative writing, as well as the wide variety of visual art being generated on campus.

The PLS considers manuscripts of up to 3000 words that exemplify both excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that enable readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding.

Submission Instructions/Guidelines

When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline.

The PLS favors student writing and privileges student manuscripts submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions are also considered.

Photos or images (color space is limited) of other artwork are accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Students submit images and text using the following instructions.

For Judging and Layout Purposes:

E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an electronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or disks will not be returned.
