Northern Lights Deadline: March 16th!
Northern Lights Literary & Arts Journal is currently seeking submissions for its Spring 2025 edition, with a deadline of March 16, 2025. This annual, student-run publication is open to creative work from students, faculty, staff, and alumni across all four UW-Green Bay campuses. The journal invites submissions in various categories, including poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, art, photography, and interactive digital stories.
Northern Lights offers a unique platform for the UW-Green Bay community to share their work with a broader audience. Since its inception in 1980, the journal has carried a legacy, inspired by the northern lights often visible in Marinette, where it was first founded.
The journal is edited by a student team under the guidance of Professor Tracy Fernandez Rysavy. The current co-editors-in-chief are Ginger Knauer and Tiffany Jablonowski. Submissions are open to a range of creative works, with specific guidelines for each category. Writers can submit short stories, essays, poetry, flash fiction, and more, while visual artists can submit high-resolution images of their artwork or photography. This is a great opportunity to leave your creative mark and be a part of this longstanding tradition. Submit today!
