Accepted Answer

No. All current NSU students in all majors are eligible to submit.

Question 6

Will I be guaranteed a spot in the magazine if I submit?

Accepted Answer

No. There is a limited amount of space in the magazine, so we cannot offer publication to everyone. Often even very strong pieces do not quite make the editorial cut.  Selection for the magazine is determined via voting by our editorial team.

Fun fact: Names of submitters cannot be seen by the Argus staff.  They can only be seen by the Editor-in-Chief, who does not vote.  Names are revealed to the staff only when the book is published in order to protect anonymity and ensure against bias.

Question 7

Are there any restrictions on content and/or subject matter?

Accepted Answer

We do not censor our content in any way, but we want to keep our fellow students safe.  This is why we include content warnings. Publication of any particular piece is up to the discretion of the entire editorial team.

Question 8

Where do I put my name on my submission?

Accepted Answer

NOWHERE!!  Please do not put your name anywhere in your submission--this includes headers and/or file names. We ask that you do not include your name so that we can protect against bias in the publication review and selection process. If you want to go by a pseudonym or stay anonymous, that is also an option you can select on the submission form.
