LAURINBURG– Gravity Hill, the student literary journal at St. Andrews, has opened up to the Laurinburg community to submit work for possible publication in its thirteenth edition.
The editorial board will accept poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, one-act plays, photographs, and artwork. The deadline for all materials is Dec. 15.
“Gravity Hill is a student-run literary journal that is published annually in the spring,” said Dr. Ted Wojtasik, faculty advisor for the publication.
“The journal was created to showcase work by St. Andrews students, faculty, alumni, staff, and friends of the University. Six years ago, we opened it up to submissions by the Scotland County community and were able to publish several pieces from this new base of authors. We are looking forward to adding even more to the collection this year.”
Sophia Iannuzzi, a senior at St. Andrews, is the student editor for the 2016 edition.
Gravity Hill is named after the local legend of the car accident at the intersection of Stewartsville Cemetery and Old Maxton roads where a woman and her child were killed by an 18-wheeler and where, today, if you stop your car and put it in neutral, the two ghosts will push your car up the hill out of harm’s way.
All work can be submitted electronically at [email protected] or mailed to Gravity Hill, St. Andrews University Press at St. Andrews University, 1700 Dogwood Mile, Laurinburg, N.C. 28352.
Previous copies of Gravity Hill can be purchased at the St. Andrews University Press Office for $5.
