Are you a writer, poet, or visual artist? Does your New Year's resolution include getting more of your work out there for consideration? Are you currently an undergraduate? If so, please consider submitting your work to the Applause Literary Journal. We are an award winning national/international journal seeking quality work by undergraduate writers! Don't miss your chance to have your work published with us!

For issue 34, we are eager to explore the rich tapestry of the human experience through the following thematic elements:

1. Sensory Reverie: Dive into the sensory realm as we seek submissions that evoke the essence of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. We encourage you to paint vivid scenes, compose mellifluous verses, or craft prose that awakens the senses of our readers.

2. Rhythms of Resistance: In a world filled with challenges and adversities, we are interested in narratives of strength, perseverance, and activism. Share stories of personal resilience, accounts of overcoming obstacles, or reflections on the power of advocacy and social change. Illuminate the indomitable human spirit through your words and art.

3. Place Personified: Places have stories to tell. We invite you to submit pieces where the setting is not merely a backdrop but a living, breathing character in itself. Whether it's a bustling cityscape, a cozy hometown, or an uncharted wilderness, let the setting come alive and influence your work in profound ways.
