CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Arthur: Trent University's Student and Community Newspaper is gearing up for a new volume of savvy student journalism in this weird little city.

Arthur publishes 3000 copies every week, giving you the opportunity to see your name and stories in print. Our first issue of the year will be published on September 7, during Trent's Introductory Seminar Week - a special issue serving as an introduction to the Trent and Peterborough communities. We’re looking for news articles, creative nonfiction, photographs, and words to the wise.

Do you have any must-have information for new students? Advice you were told, or wish you were told, in order to thrive in the whirlwind of classes, rehearsals, meetings, and parties? Write us with your stories and ideas, your survival guides, study tips, your favourite places to eat, watch live music, and buy drugs books in old Peterborough. Have you been wondering what you should do with your detailed report on Trent systems of governance? Your anti-Aramark manifesto? Your ode to your local record store? A reflection on the day you discovered East City? Your advice for tackling rugby tryouts? For saving money? For eating vegan in town, for eating on the (dirt) cheap? Photo essays from your summer (mis)adventures? Rants from the washroom stalls of the alehouse you patronize? You get the picture.

We’d like to encourage upper year students, students with disabilities, international students, LGBTQ students, racialized students, indigenous students, undercover students, nonstudents, and circus folk of all shapes and sizes to moisten their quills and submit to us.  And hey, if you’re looking to get waged at your gutsy student gazette, well, we especially hope you send something our way.

The paper’s first story meeting, which all prospective volunteer writers, associate editors, reporters and production staff are encouraged to attend, will be held this Thursday, September 2 at 1pm in Arthur’s office at Sadleir House. Hiring information will be available at the meeting.

Submissions for Issue Zero should be received by Thursday, September 2 at 5pm.
