What We Don't Accept
We do not accept unfinished works, nor do we accept submissions with grammatical or developmental errors. We will not consider submissions that do not adhere to our content or submission guidelines.
As Inkblot is produced by Brigham Young University-Idaho's Writing Center, we will not accept submissions with tactless approaches to subjects such as mental health, abuse, or death. We will not accept works with explicit content, including (but not limited to) sexually suggestive material, graphic depictions of violence or abuse, and offensive, politically charged content. As a magazine sponsored by BYU-I's Writing Center, we are dedicated to sharing thoughtful, respectful, appropriate pieces with our readers.
​
Our goal is to produce a collection that uplifts students and shares the creative spirit of our BYU-I community. Please help us in our mission as you consider your submission.
