SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Product is a student-run, annual online journal produced through the School of Humanities Center for Writers graduate program at the University of Southern Mississippi.
We encourage all submissions from all writers. We want to read the work that excites you—the poem that woke you up in the middle of the night, the story that dogged you for weeks.
In addition to general submissions, we will feature a folio on the theme of community. While we invite work that interprets this theme in any fashion, some questions to consider: what does community mean to you? What is our common commitment to the people around us?
All work will still be considered for general submission. If you would like to also be considered for our featured community folio, let us know when you submit.
Guidelines
Submissions are open to writers and artists in all genres.
We are only interested in human-generated art and writing. AI-generated work will be rejected unread.
