Submissions

Please note, Spectrum Magazine only accepts submissions from Northeastern University students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

No Theme!

We accept art, photography, poetry, prose, dramatic scripts, etc.

No submission may be over 5 pages, double-spaced, size 12 font. This is approximately 2,000 words.

While you may submit as much and as often as you wish, we would appreciate if you only sent us your best 6 submissions at a time.

Put each submission in its own file labeled 'Author - Title.'

All submissions must include in the top right corner of the document (or on a separate cover page/in the body of the email for artwork):
