Call for Entries — Soul by Southwest
SOUL BY SOUTHWEST 2025
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Seminary of the Southwest’s literary and arts journal, Soul by Southwest, is accepting entries for its Spring 2025 issue.
In this issue, we'll reflect on times of transition. Here on campus, we find ourselves navigating a range of changes, including new leadership, new spaces, and new rhythms. At the same time, larger shifts in the Church, the nation, and the world have people on the move, seeking places of safety and community. Many of us are asking Where do I belong? or How can we create a place of belonging for others?
While we invite submissions that engage these questions or the broad topic of belonging, we will gladly accept submissions on any other topic or theme.
Submissions will be accepted through Friday, January 31, 2025, and are open to writers and artists of all ages and proficiency levels. Please share this invitation with your friends and communities.
Guidelines can be found here. You can submit your works here.
Additional questions? Email us.
Check out our Fall '23 issue here.
