Are you a Writer? Check out The Artery!

By: The English Student’s Association in collaboration with Ashley Friesen

The English Student’s Association is happy to announce a submission deadline extension for the upcoming edition of The Artery, Lakehead University’s student-run literary magazine. We invite students, alumni, faculty, and staff to submit their written work and digital artwork to luartery@lakeheadu.ca by February 1st, 2021. All submissions will be considered for publication in the 2021 edition of The Artery, as well as the chance to win online gift card prizes. 

First prize winners for both art and writing will receive fifty-dollar gift cards of their choice and will have their work featured on the first page and cover of The Artery, respectively. Runners up will receive a twenty-five-dollar gift card of their choice and have their work featured within The Artery following the first prize winners. Those who have already submitted will also be considered for this contest. Detailed submission guidelines can be found on the English department website, and any questions can be sent to luartery@lakeheadu.ca.

The ESA is a student-run club that aims to build a community of writers, readers, and artists while producing yearly editions of The Artery, which is now celebrating its thirteenth year in print. Though this year’s edition is being created under very different circumstances than our first edition in 2008, we hope to provide a space for the Lakehead community to come together and share our experiences during these unprecedented times. We thank all who have participated in the creation of The Artery over the years and encourage others to continue to submit their works for consideration. To learn more about upcoming events and ways to get involved with the ESA and The Artery, please reach out to us via email.  

We at the ESA and The Artery look forward to receiving your works of creative writing, creative non-fiction, and digital art!
