First: Who We Are
Fine Lines is a national, quarterly, literary journal devoted to the publication of poetry, prose, and writing across the curriculum. The journal seeks:
- to provide insights for teachers and students in all disciplines.
- to encourage discussion of writing in ways that cut across disciplines, definitions, and traditions.
- to publish contributions by all members of the writing community.
Editor’s Note:
Any writing pieces containing the following: profanity, sexual scenes, “dark side of the force,” and excessive violence will not be accepted by Fine Lines. Please keep writings appropriate for all ages. If you’re worried your writing has “hints” of the items listed, but want to publish, send it to Fine Lines, and we will review it to let you know.
Submitting To The Journal
We welcome articles on all topics of interest to our readers and reflective writing about interesting life experiences. Our editors encourage a broad variety of approaches, methodologies, and styles. We accept, for example, research articles and practical articles that describe innovative approaches to life’s challenges. We are especially glad to receive articles that encourage stimulating dialog that crosses traditional rhetorical and disciplinary boundaries, forms, and roles. We provide a forum for professional writers and first-time authors.
