Harvard Undergraduate Tuesday Magazine Submission Guidelines

Deadline

  • Fall 2025 Submissions: Saturday, November 1st 11:59 PM 

Eligibility & Publication History

  • While we are foremost dedicated to amplifying the creative voices of undergraduates, we also accept submissions from anyone with a Harvard University affiliation.

  • Previously published works are accepted. Please include the original place of publication with your submission. 

  • Simultaneous submissions are welcome. Please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere so we can credit the original publication.

  • Submissions generated in whole or in part by artificial intelligence (AI) are not accepted. We believe that artistic creation is a fundamentally human industry incompatible with digital outsourcing. If there are preliminary uses of AI that you feel are warranted, please explain them in your submission. 

  • If your work is accepted for publication, please wait one semester before submitting again (e.g., if your work is accepted for a fall issue, please refrain from submitting until next fall).

Submission Limits

  • Written work: Up to 5 pages per person, per semester.

  • Visual art: Up to 2 submissions per person, per semester. A submission can be a single piece or a series of up to 4 pieces. Please specify if a submission is intended to be reviewed as a series.
