The team at HU Writes are very keen to see all your creative work! To ensure that we are able to consider your piece for publication, please read the following guidelines carefully.

​

• We only accept submissions from students, staff, and alumni of the University of Hull. In the case of a high volume of submissions, current students will be prioritised.

• All submissions should be relevant to the theme of "Night and Day".

• You may submit up to three pieces, but please indicate in your email which you would like us to prioritise in the event we cannot publish them all.

• We only accept work that has not been previously published in another magazine.

• No copyright infringement. All work should be wholly your own, and we will not accept the use of A.I.

• Please clearly title your piece and proofread for spelling/grammatical errors BEFORE submitting.

For all prose and non-fiction work, use the following:

For non-fiction pieces, please ensure any information is obtained through a reliable source. When writing about real events/people, consider ethics. Once a piece is published, it is available for everyone to read, so you may wish to gather consent where necessary.
