AV俱乐部

Fathom is a great opportunity for students to get their work published for the first time. The journal is distributed to students and faculty at Dal, as well as to members of the Halifax writing community, so it is a great opportunity to showcase their work.

Expect to hear about a call for submissions for the 2019/20 issue in November 2019.

Also, Fathom's editorial team is run entirely by students. So, if you are interested in learning the editing process - become an editor for Fathom! The first editors meeting usually takes place mid-September of every year.

AV俱乐部's yearly undergraduate journal of literary criticism, Verso, is usually open for submissions until Febuary of every year. Any paper written for a AV俱乐部 English course with a mark of B+ or higher is accepted. Contact the editors at verso.submissions@gmail.com
