We are looking for aspiring writers, creative artists or just anybody who would like to have a piece of their own creation published in a magazine.
We are the new General Editors of the university magazine Skepsi, the literary magazine based in the Language Centre. We are creating a unique, student-led issue which promotes the work of Undergraduates and Postgraduates and allows all students from any degree to express themselves freely.
This is our open call for submissions for our new issue, coming to you soon!
All pieces are welcome, whether they be academic, non-academic, fiction, non-fiction, literary or otherwise. We would love to see anything from an academic essay, your own creative writings – poetry or prose, we are not picky – photographic essays, artistic pieces, blog posts, or anything else you would like to share and have published. This is a fantastic opportunity to publish your work in a non-competitive and relaxed environment (which will look great on a CV) or to just share your creativity with the world.
We are also looking for a piece of artwork to grace the front cover of our magazine, any piece of artwork is welcome, preferably inspired by literature, languages or linguistics.
All we ask is that the pieces submitted be your own works, previously unpublished, and created without the use of generative AI.
The deadline for submissions is the 27th November 2026, however extensions can be granted upon request.
If you have any questions or have a piece you would like to submit, please email us at skepsi@kent.ac.uk – please include your name and the title piece in the subject line.
We look forward to hearing from you and reading your work!
All the best,
Amelie and Melisa
