Spring 2008 Literary Magazine Guidelines

The Cornerstone Review is an annual literary journal published by the Cornerstone University English Society.
This journal aims to allow Cornerstone University students to display their literary and artistic talent.
Through the 2008 Spring semester we will be accepting submission of artwork, photography, poetry, song lyrics, short stories and literary essays. A panel of peers will judge the submissions, and the best examples of literary and artistic creativity and skill will be published.
The journal will be printed and distributed through the final week of classes (April 28th – May 2nd) during Spring semester.
