Matchbox Magazine

Matchbox Magazine is a UC-wide compilation of prose, poetry, and artwork by UC students. Based at UC Santa Cruz, we publish a print magazine that we distribute to the entire UC system. Strike up your inspiration and light our fire by sending your work to matchboxmagazine@gmail.com.

To be included in the Spring 2012 issue, please adhere to these guidelines:
*Submit poetry or prose to matchboxmagazine@gmail.com as a .doc or .odt attachment.
*Less is more -- we have limited space so short pieces are more than welcome! Prose should not be more than 2000 words long, or 3 pages. Poetry should be less than 2 pages.
*Photographs, paintings, and digital art should be sent as a TIFF, PNG, or JPG/JPEG file attached to the email.
*We do not exclude any genre, however, we look for prose that makes us feel that the story is complete, functional, and well-thought-out.
Note: We are not affiliated with Matchbook Story, the Santa Cruz magazine that publishes a short story inside of a matchbox, but if super-short form is your thing, we invite you to check it out!

The submission deadline was February 1st, 2012.
