The publication offers a place for student writers to publish their work. According to Ekstrom, Odradek s focus is primarily on publishing student submissions. Ekstrom said professors and alumni are also allowed to submit work. After the Odradek is published, students may pick up a free copy in the English department, Ekstrom said. He predicts it will be available by the middle of April.
Students wishing to submit work have several guidelines to follow.
Entrants are encouraged to submit no more than five poems each. Short stories are to be no longer than 3,500 words while essays have a 2,500-word limit. Submissions should be typed and include a cover sheet with the author s name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number. Contributors who are serious about publication are urged to submit their work in electronic form as well. Work should be word processed in Microsoft Word on a 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled with the contributor s name.
