Hello, AU-ers!
The Issue XIII Launch Party will take place this Thursday, from 6-8pm, in HUB 307. Contributors will read their work and guests will be invited to participate in our infamously tough trivia. The theme for this issue was “Wings,” and all trivia questions will be selected accordingly. Issues can be purchased after the launch party at Bulldog News ($3.50) or the English advising office ($3).
Thanks,
The AU Folks
Adria, Ben, Britt, Megan, Shannon
This Thursday at 6:00* in room 169 in Savery, we will be partnering with Write Away for a writing workshop. If you have a story/poem you would like feedback on before you submit, bring it in and we’ll help you polish it up!
*Not 6:30, as the English major’s listserv notice says.
Hello AU-ers!
Missy Brinks-Hoppe and Wanda Betram, Former AU editors and very talented and capable writers and human beings, are currently working on a documentary on the history of time travel and they need our help with it! They’re looking to raise $35,000 by October 17th in order to make this documentary happen! Check out their promo video and read more about the details of their Kickstarter campaign here:
Hello dear AU-ers!
The theme for this quarter’s issue of AU is “Wings.” Do with that what you will. Submissions are due by November 16th. Email your stories, poems, photographs, graphics, etc. to strayingfromreality@gmail.com. Send us your fairies and angels and birds and dragons and pegasuses. Pegasi?
Missy Brinks-Hoppe and Wanda Bertram, two of the loveliest ladies in the universe, graduated last spring and now AU desperately needs new editors! We are looking for 2-3 students who are passionate about quality, well-written speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, dystopian, horror, etc.). Special consideration will be given to those with experience working with InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, or editing. If interested in applying to this position, please send a brief cover letter and resume with relevant experience to strayingfromreality@gmail.com with “Editor Position” in the subject line. The position is unpaid (sorry—we’re a low-budget operation here) but you will gain great experience in writing, editing, and design. We’d love to have you!
For Narnia,
Adria
Dear fellow AUers,
As we settle in for some quality time this break with our books, shows, and wines of choice, the editors at AU are excited to announce our theme for the twelfth issue!
The theme of AU’s newest issue is Tides—that being the neatest-sounding word we could find for prose and poetry with seas, oceans, and other aquatic bodies of that nature in mind. (Commendation goes to all who began writing for the “Space Jousting” theme, and we hope there is some way that the two themes can marry.) We’re excited to see what you come up with, and the deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 18th, so get brainstorming and spread the word!
A very merry spring break to all,
The AU Editors

Hello and welcome to another new quarter!
The theme for winter quarter and AU’s eleventh issue is: PLAGUES. Show us your fictional diseases, parasites, or any other interpretation.
