Manuscripts is now accepting submissions for vol. 90, our spring 2025 issue!
Manuscripts is Butler University's undergraduate literary magazine. We publish students’ creative work annually—anything from poetry and short stories to photographs and paintings. We aim to showcase a variety of artists, a variety of art, and a variety of styles. Manuscripts is not only for English majors; anyone who is an undergraduate student at any Indiana university can submit their work. All are welcome and encouraged to submit!
