Local opportunities for getting published

A compilation of details for all the UCSB-related publications I could find:

Creative writing

Catalyst is UCSB's free undergraduate literary journal of original poetry and short fiction. To reach the current editorial staff, contact Ann Wainwright (wainwright@english.ucsb.edu), undergraduate advisor in English.

Into the Teeth of the Wind is a poetry journal produced by CCS students who serve as editors, contributors, and publishers. Submissions are also sought from the greater community. Submit poems to windsteeth@ccs.ucsb.edu.

Spectrum is the literary journal of the College of Creative Studies. Many students have had writing or artwork published in this magazine, and others have served as editors or assisted in another aspect of production. Spectrum accepts submissions of prose, poetry, nonfiction, and art from anyone, anywhere. Submit work to spectrum.ccs.ucsb@gmail.com.

WORD Magazine is a quarterly Isla Vista arts and culture magazine produced by UCSB students as part of the course INT 185ST. More information.


Journalism

The Daily Nexus, UCSB's campus newspaper, holds meetings for interested writers, copyeditors, illustrators, and photographers near the beginning of every quarter.

The Independent, Santa Barbara's weekly paper, also sometimes hires students as columnists and interns.


Research

California Engineer is a research journal for undergraduate engineers in the UC system.

Focus Media Journal is the annual scholarly publication of the Film and Media Studies Department at UCSB. It accepts student submissions from all majors; see this announcement for instructions.

Discovery is UCSB's journal of undergraduate student research (see here). Manuscripts are considered from all scholarly fields and must be based on original research. A letter of recommendation from a faculty member must accompany your camera-ready manuscript. Deadline for submissions is one week after Spring quarter finals. Complete guidelines may be obtained from the Math Department Office, Room 6607 in South Hall.

The Law and Society Journal at UCSB accepts original student submissions related to law and society, including reviews, photo essays, and editorials.
