Steam Ticket
About Steam Ticket
Steam Ticket, A Third Coast Review, is published each April. It is the national literary magazine of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. We aspire to publish high-quality poetry, fiction, and essays from both experienced and emerging writers. We also publish artwork (reproduced in black and white).
Submission Guidelines
We welcome original poems, stories, essays, creative non-fiction, and artwork from January 1 to April 1. Material received outside those months will be returned or recycled. We do not accept email submissions. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as Steam Ticket is notified immediately in the event the manuscript is accepted elsewhere. We have no strict expectations about style or content. Send your best work.
Poetry: Send three to five poems. Include an SASE.
Fiction, Essays, and Creative Nonfiction: 3,500 words maximum on any topic using any style. Quirky short-shorts are also encouraged. Manuscripts must be typed, double-spaced, and include author's contact information plus an SASE. Please don't staple pages together.
Artwork: We welcome photographs, drawings (lead, pen and ink, charcoal etc) on any subject. Accepted artwork will be reproduced in black and white.
