City college’s literary journal, Susurrus, is currently accepting submissions for its 21st edition to be published in spring 2015. Current and former students are encouraged to share works of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry and visual art for consideration, according to English Professor Marci Selva, the adviser for the journal.

“This semester is all about looking at the submissions, voting on them, and deciding what’s going to go into the book,” said Selva. “Next semester is laying it out, getting the book printed and planning the end-of-the-year reading event.”

Selva has taught at City College since 1997, but this will be her first time taking on the journal.

“I’m very excited. This is all very new to me. I have taught creative writing for a few semesters now, but I have not done this before,” she said.

The class will be divided into committees, each specializing in one form of writing—fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry—said Selva. Submissions will be either be accepted outright without revision, accepted with the promise of edits to be done over the semester, or rejected.

Susurrus does not have a theme this year, Selva said. “We want to see what happens organically. There may be an overarching theme—we might apply that afterward. Or there might not be.”

Selva expects to receive 200 to 300 submissions for the book. “It’s going to be fun,” she says. “I’m looking forward to seeing what people send in.

The deadline for submissions is before midnight, Oct. 10.
