Review our Style Guide and the monthly theme!
To submit your work, email serendipity@sheridancollege.ca with the subject line Submission: [CREATIVE THEME] – [YOUR NAME] – [CREATIVE TYPE/GENRE].
Example: Submission: CHANGE – John Smith – Fiction Creative Writing
Please attach creative writing in DOCX, images in PNG, and videos in MP4 or MOV. Ensure the name of the file is as follows: NAME_CREATIVE THEME_CREATIVE TYPE/GENRE. For writing, please do not include your name as author in the document, only in the file name; this ensures there is no conflict of interest and gives every submission a fair chance.
