Submit Your Work

Submissions are currently closed! They will be opening again on MAY 1ST, 2024, and will remain open until JAN 8TH, 2025, so check back again soon!

If you’re interested in submitting to Sugar Pine Lit, you first and foremost must be a CSArts-SGV student, but there are quite a few more requirements than that. In the actual submission form, there’s much more specific information, but here’s the basic breakdown:

  • Maximum of 5 submissions per person

  • There’s a chance that we’ll accept a piece on the condition that you make certain edits. If this is the case, we'll contact you using your provided information, and if you don't respond, the piece will not be accepted.

  • No AI created or assisted submissions are allowed

Art Submission Information:

  • All forms of experimental or “out there” art are accepted!

    • Alongside paintings, drawings, and photography, we can also accept collages, comics, and more!

  • If you want your art to be considered for Cover Art, just let us know!

  • We do not accept fan-art.

Writing Submission Information:

  • As always, we accept prose, poetry, essays, erasure/blackout poetry, songs, screenplays, and more! Get creative and experimental.

  • As a somewhat new addition to Sugar Pine, we are also accepting pieces in languages other than English as long as a translation is also provided-- we will publish them side by side if accepted.

  • You are also free to submit translations of other people's work into English, as translation is art in its own right. If you choose to do this, please provide the original piece and its title and author alongside your translation of it.

  • Word limit for prose: 2,500 words max.

  • Line limit for poetry: 150 lines max.

  • Page limit for script: 5-10 pages in script format.
