The SCOP Submission Guidelines

The Scop is accepting submissions for our Spring 2025 issue!

The Scop is open to receiving submissions from the King's College community and beyond. This includes current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the community. The Scop will accept submissions of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, art, and photography. Although you may submit to all of the categories, please limit your submissions to:

Prose should be submitted double-spaced and poetry should be submitted single-spaced. All submissions should be in separate Word document files.

Photographs or pictures of artwork should be submitted in either .JPEG or .TIFF format, have a title, and be attached separately from any Word documents. When submitting work, please do not include your name or personal information on the written piece being submitted to allow for impartial judging.

Please provide a cover sheet when submitting written works. The cover sheet should include your name, title of work, phone number, email address, mailing address, and at most a 50-word bio written in the third person.

The deadline is March 21, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to scop@kings.edu.

* We are also accepting submissions for cover and divider art. Please submit any pieces using the same link and guidelines above. Please state that you wish to have your piece(s) as cover and/or divider art.*
