Extending our submission period just a bit to accommodate any of our writers/artists who haven't submitted yet but still want to! (We artists are prone to daydreaming and can sometimes forget about deadlines, right? 😉) Submissions will remain open until end-of-night June 11th, and officially close the morning of June 12th. Hope to see your work in our queue! Submit here: https://kelseyreview.submittable.com/submit?fbclid=IwAR3rjgNLddBwYBHRWWtVSZdBIMrUfSS2pZCCz0Srj8FngoPSoJ7j2e0MijQ
