The EPOCH Editorial Board is also made up of students, and overseen by Skidompha’s Teen Services Librarian, Hannah. They review the writing and art submitted and make selections as to which pieces will appear in print. Conversations are engaging, and complete with Library-provided snacks! The Editorial Board meets throughout the year, starting in November/December. To apply, send Hannah an introductory email at EPOCH@skidompha.org with the following information:

Email your work to EPOCH@skidompha.org. Any artwork needs to be high resolution (AT LEAST 300 DPI), and sent as either a .jpg, .jpeg or .png only. Any written work must be 1,500 words or fewer, and should be sent as .doc, .docx, .txt, or .pdf only. For both written and visual art, you will need to include:
Your name, grade, age, and school

All submissions will be judged blind — the Editorial Board will not see the name or school of the artist until after the piece has been reviewed for inclusion. If you have any other questions, stop in or email to discuss!
