FAQ
01
What is the class called? When can I sign up?
Our class is called Literary Publications, or English 313. It's offered at NDSU during the spring semester every year. See if the class is right for you by checking out our About Us page

How old do you need to be to submit?
This depends on what the class decides. Some of our journals have youth sections, and others do not. However, there is no age limit to submit to Northern Eclecta. This will be information that will be posted by the staff of Northern Eclecta when the class decides whether those under 18 years old will be included in the final journal.

07

04
Is there a limit on how much one person can submit or get published to the journal?
No. Anyone can submit as much as they want to the journal, and all of that work will be voted on by the class as to whether or not it is accepted into the journal.
06
Does anyone get priority for submitting to the journal?
No. Everyone who submits to the journal has the same chances to get published. We read the pieces blind, meaning that we don’t know who submitted the pieces to the journal. We take out all identifying information of the creator and accept submissions based on what we think best fits our theme. We only vote on the work submitted.

How will I know what the theme is for the journal?
The theme for the journal is chosen by the Literary Publications class in early January. The theme will then be advertised when submissions open. If you have suggestions for what you think the theme should be, check out the For Our Readers tab, and leave your ideas for the literary publications class to discuss. There is a form at the bottom of the page to submit your ideas.
