Submissions to Met

If you are a Cerro Coso student, alum, faculty member, staff member, or invited guest artist/writer who would like to submit to Met, please read the following information and follow the instructions below.

Submission Overview

Met publishes poetry, short stories, creative non-fiction, reviews, and literary scholarship and re-produces art in all mediums. Submissions are taken year round.

Restrictions: Poets can submit up to eight poems. Fiction writers and essayists can submit up to 8000 words. Artists can submit up to eight pieces. All submissions must be previously unpublished.

Submission Process Step By Step

Follow these three steps carefully to ensure that your work gets routed correctly. These steps must be repeated for each piece you submit.

  1. Save Your Work
    1. Formatting Literature: Save your literary piece in Microsoft Word or RTF format. Be sure to name the file using your last name plus an abbreviated form of the submission’s title.

                Example
                Sullivan_Mammoth_Nights
       
    2. Formatting Art: Save your piece as a high resolution 300 dpi jpeg or tiff file. Image dimensions should not exceed 8”x10” in size. If you must photograph your piece (for instance, a painting or sculpture), consider carefully the composition and lighting of the shot. Be sure to name the file using your last name plus an abbreviated form of the submission’s title.

                Example
                Krause_Sunset_on_Lake
       
  2. Fill Out the Submission Form: The Submission Form collects all necessary personal information and your permission to publish, so fill it out as completely as possible. This submission form is only for collection of information and is separate from the actual sending of your piece, which is the final step ...
     
  3. Send Your Work Via Email: Once you have completed the submission form above, then you are ready to send your work via email:
    1. Open a new email message to met@cerrocoso.edu
    2. In the subject line of the message, write “Met 2009: last name + abbreviated title of piece”. Use the same abbreviated title that you used when naming your file.
