FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Calling all Undergraduates
Submission Time!
October 19, 2009 - Minneapolis, MN -- The Ivory Tower 2009-2010 staff has set the ball in motion and is now accepting online and print submissions of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, music and art from undergraduates at the University of Minnesota. Be sure to submit before the December 1st, 2009 deadline and check our website, ivorytower.umn.edu, for more information.
The staff has been entrusted with continuing the legacy of the Ivory Tower for next year's staff and submitters. We are looking forward to keeping up the favorite activities from last year, as well as starting our own traditions for years to come.
Look forward to multiple writing workshops this year, complete with free food of course! Join us for our first fiction workshop on Thursday, October 29th at 6:00 pm in Lind207A. In honor of Halloween, this workshop will include bone-chilling tales and trick-or-treats! In other event news, a coffee shop event is also in the works for this winter! This year, we are especially focused on creating community partnerships, both with the local thriving U of M community, and with the larger Twin Cities literary world.
For those of you who would like to get more involved in the larger Twin Cities literary and arts community, be sure to stay tuned to the Ivory Tower blog or Facebook page. We will be sharing our favorite local literary nooks and crannies as well as upcoming community events! Whether you want to find a great new book or a quirky first date spot in Uptown, we've got it all!
Throughout the next couple weeks you will see us around campus handing out fliers and visiting classrooms to ignite enthusiasm for the magazine. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email us at ivory@umn.edu.
We are excited to receive submissions and get the 2009-2010 issue underway!
