What's new with SKETCHES, LLP's Online Literary Journal


 by Barbara Olivis

          LLP’s online creative writing journal SKETCHES is making a come back this year. The journal has been around on and off since 2002, but the new aim is to put out one edition a year. As of now, SKETCHES hopes to be more routine in accepting submissions in the fall and to publish the journals in the spring. The submission period for this semester closed on March 15th, but SKETCHES will be looking for more submissions in next fall, so make sure to be on the look out. They will be accepting submissions only once a year!

            The SKETCHES journal is a non-theme based creative writing journal that features poetry, photos, and other visual art and short stories. They also accept videos and audios of spoken word. This means that you are unlimited in submitting the work that you would like to share with other creative minds. 
          “I think what we are looking for is just good quality work, whether it is in poetry, fiction or artwork” Dr. Elaine A. Phillips says. “Right now it is open to primarily students. We want to showcase students, but we also have work from TSU faculty, staff and alums coming in.”
            The goal of SKETCHES is to showcase art. “It’s to get students, as well as the TSU community, to know that people are writing and producing in terms of art work and to showcase it," Phillips says. "Ideally, not just for the TSU community, but eventually for the larger Nashville, or even regional community.” 
          SKETCHES has big plans for the future and they will need the help of the students to accomplish their goals. Share your work and inspire others!
