Animalism Workshop

Three Minute Wonders Submissions

Deadline: October 14th, 11:59 PM

This year, the Nomad is screening submissions for the English Department’s undergraduate Three Minute Wonders event. Ten undergrad students will be chosen to read their fiction, nonfiction, or poetry submissions, which must be able to be read in 3 minutes or less. The reading is October 28th at City Lights Bookstore from 4-5 PM. Give us your best spooky original work, as the event this year will be Halloween themed!

Submissions should be sent to thenomad@email.wcu.edu for consideration. If your piece is longer, feel free to include a recording of yourself reading it to prove it can be done within 3 minutes! Your work will be kept anonymous during review.

Animalism Workshop
