Submissions for Inside Out 2026 will open in Fall 2025

Submissions for Inside Out 2026 will open in Fall 2026! All Jefferson students are encouraged to submit prose, poetry, art, and photographs to be considered for Inside Out through Submittable. Maximum of four submissions per person.  Visual art files should be submitted as a PNG at the HIGHEST RESOLUTION possible (minimum of 3MB). Literary submissions should be submitted as .doc files. A committee of Jefferson student editors will judge submissions anonymously. 

Questions about the submission process? Contact Kirsten Bowen, Humanities Program Coordinator.

Would you prefer to play a more curatorial role? We're looking for new members from East Falls and Center City. Editorial committee members must be current Jefferson students and commit to attending two editorial meetings during the Spring 2026 semester. Serving on the editorial committee for Inside Out can be counted as credit for the Asano Humanities & Health Certificate by filling out a club attendance form for each meeting. 

Thinking of submitting but need to revise your work? Contact Pamela Walter at the Office for Professional Writing, Publishing, and Communication for help with submissions.
