Submition process
Writers fill out the submission form on our website and upload their article, essay, or story as a Google Doc or PDF. Authors can also include optional images or sources.
Once the form is submitted, the author receives a short confirmation message letting them know we received their work and it is now in the review queue.
A small team of student editors checks the submission to make sure it follows our basic guidelines (original work, school-appropriate content, proper citations, etc.).
If something is missing, the writer will be emailed and asked to fix it before continuing.
Two student editors independently read the submission for clarity, writing quality, structure, and overall impact.
Editors leave suggestions or questions if needed.
If the piece needs small edits, the writer receives an email with suggestions.
The writer can revise their work and resubmit the updated version to continue the process.
Once the editors agree the piece is ready, the submission is marked “approved” and prepared for publication.
Approved pieces are posted on the Emerging Journalist website in the appropriate category (News, Features, Opinion, Reviews, etc.).
The author will be notified when their piece goes live.
