Spectrum, Wittenberg's very own nonfiction writing journal, is currently accepting admissions for its 2007 edition.
The goal of Spectrum is to showcase the many talents of Wittenberg's diverse student writing community. Diversity is, in fact, one of the things that Spectrum looks for in particular; past issues of Spectrum have included entries stretching across the academic disciplines, from Biology to English to Math.
"It's a great way for undergraduates to get themselves out there, to get published," says Spectrum staff member Stephanie Von Moll, '07.
All students are encouraged to polish up their best academic work- be it essays, creative nonfiction, argumentative pieces, reviews, or even senior theses- for submission. Students may also submit more than one entry to Spectrum, and there is no length limit. All entries are handled anonymously until publication. The submission deadline is Jan. 31. Von Moll points out that since Spectrum is a university journal, and therefore has "a much smaller pool of competition" than newspapers or magazines, students who decide to submit have a good chance of being published.
The Spectrum staff is made up of Writing Center advisors, and is spearheaded by Megan Weber, '07.
Application forms and past editions of Spectrum are available in the Writing Center, 112 Hollenbeck. If you have any questions, please stop by the Writing Center or email Spectrum at spectrum@wittenberg.edu.
