Submission Guidelines

We want to hear from you!

Letters: What do you think of the current issue? Is there an article that you really like, or is there something you’d like us to do better? Write us a letter or send us an e-mail! We’ll publish a few reader responses in every issue.

Off the Shelf: What great books have you read lately? Imagine readers want to know! We publish reviews of everything from the classics to hot-off-the-press releases. Tell us what you're reading and why you think others would enjoy it. In an upcoming issue, we'll share your name, your recommendation, and your reasons for recommending it.

Enter our Creative Minds Contests!

We are currently accepting entries for our Creative Minds Illustration Contest. Winners will be announced in the Mar/Apr issue of Imagine. Read contest guidelines and submit entries here by February 1, 2008.

Check back for upcoming contest deadlines:

  • May/Jun: Fiction

Imagine also accepts queries for feature articles. Please do not send completed articles. We prefer to work closely with writers from the beginning to avoid unnecessary rewrites.

We publish first-person narratives of valuable, enriching experiences, including academic summer programs and competitions, volunteer work, internships, and extracurriculars. Feature articles range from 800 to 1,200 words.

Our issues for the 2007-08 volume year will focus on:

  • Animalia
  • Art & Science of Sound
  • Invention to Action
  • The Green Issue
  • Art Now

We are interested in queries related to these topics but also welcome queries on unrelated topics, as we publish at least two non-focus-topic articles in each issue.

A few tips:

  • Submissions and queries should come from the students interested in publishing their work. We appreciate the interest of parents and educators in publishing their students’ writing; however, we want to hear from students themselves. We want to read work that the student believes in and believes is worthy of publication.
  • Imagine is a unique magazine, so make sure you read at least one issue before submitting your writing to us. If you are not familiar with Imagine, please order a back issue to make sure your submission is appropriate.
