𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒈

hi everyone ! the world is scary and chaotic right now, and as a black student i’m torn between feeling afraid and feeling like i could be doing more. that’s why i decided to team up with a few friends and create Students for Black Lives. sfbl is a completely student run, not for profit project where students — mainly matriculating college freshman — from top schools will help other students reach their goals through essay, standardized testing, and extracurricular advising, and resume advising in with one ten dollar donation to a blm organization.

the goal of this project is to raise as much money as we can for blm organizations. as high aiming students who met our goals, we want to use whatever power we have to help the heartbreaking, incensing state of our world right now. my friends and i from stanford, harvard, upenn, princeton, columbia, cornell, berkeley, caltech, and many more schools want to do more than we’ve already done. i want to help my community in any way i can.

if you’re interested in our services, please follow our instagram and look at this document with more information. if you’re a student who wants to help but can’t donate or doesn’t need college help, sharing our platform is essential to maximizing our effect. 

as the editors of anthropocene magazine, we are thrilled to announce that submissions for issue one are officially open ! you might remember that we previously had opened rolling/early submissions for those who for whatever reason wanted to get their work in early, but as of monday, december 9 submissions are open to everyone.

we accept submissions of poetry, prose, short fiction, short creative nonfiction, essays, photography, digital art, or physical art. we’re going to officially open submission after editors are chosen, but you can submit now and they’ll be archived until editor applications close

–– submission guidelines:

you can submit as many as 5 pieces at one time, and you can send in a mix of any type of work. submit by sending us an email at [email protected] with your work in a file and your first name & last initial. name the file “work name,” “type of work” (example: sunsets on a beach, poetry). the subject of the email should be issue 1 submission, “number of pieces” (example: issue 1 submission, 3)

–– what’s the theme?

issue one’s theme is keystones !! a keystone is something that everything else depends on. for example, a momentous occasion, the most important step in a process, and an important realization are all keystones. (this is a very loose theme–more of a formality–so don’t worry at all if you don’t think your piece fits the theme~please submit it anyway !!!)

we’re hard at work reviewing applications and they all look fantastic! if you still want to apply though this week is your last chance. we’d love to hear from each and every one of you!

and remember submissions are always open for this upcoming issue with the theme: keystones

thank you all so much and we’re every excited to embark on this journey with you. we’ll announce when the accepted applicants are notified.
