Submit your Work
We are delighted that you are interested in submitting work for consideration in Continuum, and we invite you to answer the call. We look forward to seeing the following: book reviews, essays, research papers, poetry, song lyrics, instrumentals, photographs, artwork or sculpture. Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive, and we welcome your ideas for alternative creative pieces.
All work completed for assignments in courses at UIS, or completed on your own time is acceptable to submit. Please do not submit work that was completed in high school, was completed as part of a course at another institution or has been published already. To submit your work, send an email to continuum@uis.edu with the title “Continuum Submission”.
Become an Editor
The Capital Scholars Honors Program Staff invites you to apply to be a part of the review board for Continuum. Our vision is a journal of academic and artistic scholarship managed and edited by students at UIS and published once per academic year. At the end of the submission period, a review board of students and faculty will be provided with works submitted and be asked to score them based on their quality and merit across a variety of categories. After a period of time, the review board will reconvene together to evaluate the submissions and determine which works are to be showcased in the journal
Editors must possess exceptional talent in composition and editing, dedicated to creating a vibrant academic community on campus. Editors will work as a team to develop a production timeline that will include a submission review period, which will likely take place either over winter break or at the start of the spring semester. Editors must be willing to devote considerable time during the submission review period to reading submissions and working with the editorial team to make publication decisions.
To Apply
Applications are accepted on a rolling admissions basis throughout the year, but applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
Apply to be an editor by emailing your application with an attached resume to continuum@uis.edu.
