Hello, all! 👋 📣
As our spring break concludes, we would like to remind anyone still interested in submitting work to Myriad that all submissions must be received by tonight, April 20th, at 11:59 PM PST. Please be sure to finish your final revisions and submit them on Myriad’s Submittable. Best of luck to everyone, and have a good rest of your weekend!

Mark your calendar! 🗓️ 📣
This is your official reminder that the deadline for Myriad submissions is coming up next Sunday, April 20th, at 11:59 PM PST. Also, don’t miss El Camino College’s 7th Annual Poetry Slam, happening Tuesday, April 29th from 1:15 to 2:15 PM PST at the Social Justice Center. If you’re interested in connecting with the poetry scene on campus, we encourage you to attend! Poetry Slam submissions are welcome - and encouraged - to also be submitted to Myriad!

Looking for a writing group on El Camino? 📝📚
The Story Theorists is a student-run writing group on El Camino campus that specializes in storytelling. Meetings are held every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 - 3:00 PM, and are held in the New Arts Complex Gallery. As the deadline for Myriad submissions approaches in nearly two weeks from now, The Story Theorists is a great resource to meet fellow like-minded writers who can help provide input and feedback for any creative writing you may want to submit!

Looking for inspiration on submissions? ✏️ 📖
El Camino College’s Reading and Writing Studio is currently hosting creative writing workshops every Thursday until April 10th. The Reading and Writing Studio is an excellent resource to meet fellow writers who can help you with your work! You can also visit the Reading and Writing Studio in person in Humanities-122 or virtually through Zoom. We look forward to hearing from more submissions in these upcoming weeks!
