    Everyone is welcome!
     
    MHS Literary Magazine 
     
     
    What is the magazine? 
     
    The annual magazine is a student-run publication with a goal of encompassing all aspects and personalities of our student body through various forms of prose, poetry, art, and music. We can’t do this without you! Please submit your creative works!
     
    We're looking for quality written pieces, including poetry, songs, short stories, personal narrative (memoirs), & flash fiction. We also want a variety of artwork, such as photographs, drawings, sketches, paintings, photos of sculpture, and musical compositions.
     
     
    Should I submit?
     
    Yes, please! We need your work! This year, our goal is to involve as many MHS students as we can and to publish works in different languages. 
    • Everyone is welcome to submit - you don't have to be a member. 
    • Submissions will be collected electronically from December-February. Details will be posted then.
    • We strongly recommend that you attend at least one workshop session to get feedback on your submission; then, you can revise and improve it before you submit. 
     
    What does the club do?  
     
    Our club meets all year to share ideas, write, workshop, and then publish an annual magazine.  
    • AUTUMN: Writing activities and workshops
