We are now accepting submissions from undergraduates in the HSSMA Division for the special 26th Edition to be published in Summer 2026.
Litteratus publishes original work only, including scholarly research papers, creative writing and visual and performing arts pieces that are accompanied by an artist statement or project summary addressing influences, process/methodology, technique, and impact. Book reviews are not accepted, unless they are framed as part of a critical review of influential literature on a clearly defined topic. Submissions should not have been published elsewhere.
Papers should be between 2000 and 4000 words, not including references and the abstract. There is no limit on the number of figures, tables and images in a submission, though their placement and quality must conform to journal guidelines. Papers over 4000 words will be returned without review.
Please ask your faculty sponsor/mentor to review the submission guidelines, then review and edit your manuscript prior to submission.
