Thank you for considering The Reservoir Journal as a home for your work. Keep in mind you must be a student of Scituate High School to submit to The Res. Before you submit, please read the guidelines below. 

 

​

1. We accept art (digital art, photos of art pieces), photography, fiction (under 2,500 words), creative nonfiction, and poetry. ​

​

2. Writers may submit one piece per genre, with the exception of poetry; 1-3 poems may be submitted by the same writer. Include all poems in the same document, beginning a new page for each poem. 

​

3. Submissions will be read blind. Please do not include any identifying information on the work itself.

​

4. We prefer submissions in pdf form, but word or Google documents are also accepted. 

​

5. Please format your pieces as you would like them to appear on the page. (Ex: If you want funky spacing in your poetry, please make the spacing funky in the piece you submit, so we can transfer the funkiness here.)

​

Any questions about submissions can be addressed to the Editors. To contact your editor, please write to thereservoirjournal@gmail.com. In the subject line, identify the genre about which you are inquiring. Address your email to the appropriate Editor: ​
