The Scribe

Submissions for the Fall Edition are open until October 22nd! Check back again next semester for submission opportunities once this date has passed. Please look out for information regarding the drop of our online edition.

Due to limited space, we are only able to accept long form writing less than 1500 words for the online edition and 1000 for the print edition. The Scribe committee looks forward to reading your work. Please submit PDF files or Google Docs. In your email with your submissions, please include your preferred name and anticipated graduation year. Submissions can be sent to thescribeumass@gmail.com.

Welcome to The Scribe, a literary and arts publication sponsored by the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.  We publish a collection of our favorite submissions every semester.  The Scribe’s mission is to showcase the enormous talents in the undergraduate community. We feature art, photography, writing, music—anything our contributors have to share.

All work submitted to The Scribe is also eligible for submission in the HFA SLG Student Creative Showcase! This is a one-day event that takes place each spring. You can find more information about them at their instagram: umass.showcase
