Submitting to the Bennington Magazine
There are five ways alumni, students, staff and faculty can be included in the magazine.
Each form asks readers to submit in a way that is specifically related to the department they hope to be included within. Below are the ways in which readers can submit to Bennington Online. All submissions are reviewed for accuracy, length, clarity, and relevance to the department. Submissions are edited; all submissions related to the feature question are reviewed but only those that meet the editorial requirements and respond to the question are considered for feature inclusion. Readers who have already had their responses featured in the last two years are asked to refrain from feature submissions to offer as much opportunity to readers who have not yet been featured.
Feature Responses
Submit a response to the next issue’s question, “How do you keep on making and keep on going when it feels like everything is ending?” by January 4, 2021 for full consideration. Submissions should be emailed. The editor is inviting conversations focused on this question with readers.
All readers are invited to record a one-on-one conversation, focused on this question with the editor. Reserve time to talk here.
Notes
All members of the Bennington community—alumni, students, faculty and staff—are invited to submit a Note by December 14, 2020 for inclusion in the next online issue. Please remember that Notes will be indexed on Google and available for the public to read.
