How to submit your writing
Send us your Writing!
The Dawson English Journal accepts submissions at any time. You can submit your work here on the journal site, or simply send your writing to us at englishjournal@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
Submission Guidelines
We will consider publication of any assignment written for a Dawson course (English or related) at any level (101, 102, 103 or BXE), or for a Reflections, CALL or Liberal Arts course. Though the journal tends towards academic work, we have published creative works in the past.
To be considered for publication in our next issue, your assignment must:
- be between 500-2000 words
- have received a grade of 85% or higher
- be a clean, edited copy
- include your name, the course name and the instructor’s name
- be formatted in MLA style
After the posted submission deadline, the editorial team reads all submission carefully, then meets to discuss and evaluate all the essays. At this time the committee selects a limited number of pieces for publication. All readings of the assignments are blind, meaning all information identifying the author, course and teacher are removed from the texts before the editors read them.
