“but I cannot stand all day in the sun with my eyes on the ball; i cannot feel the flight of the ball through my body and think only of the ball. I shall be a clinger to the outsides of words all my life.”

-virginia woolf, the waves

Welcome to volume 69 of the Carillon!

Hey! Thanks for being interested enough in our publication to be reading this! It’s the fall of the 2026 and the energy over the past few months, maybe years, has been: how did we make it this far? Well, print media may be writhing around in pain, but it’s still alive! Anyways, what are you doing here? Have you got a story idea, a poem that’s begging to be published, or some comics that would look great on the back of one of our issues? Have you got a hefty complaint to lodge at one of our staff? Whatever it is, you’re in the right place.

Below, you’ll find a pitch list for each of our sections: News, Arts & Sports, and Op-Ed. You’ll also find the contact information for each of our section editors, who will update the pitch lists regularly to make sure that you can scratch that writing itch without having to come up with your own idea.

Speaking of having your own ideas (or needing to kindly and creatively borrow someone else’s), we at the Carillon never want to see you crossing over to the dark side, even if you are dealing with some writer’s block; this is a strictly generative-AI-free zone. We would love to see your original work crossing our desks! Please contribute! Get published!

If you want to reach me for any reason, feel free to send an email to emma@carillonregina.com. Make sure to say something nice, even if the nice thing is sandwiched between complaints.

I am incredibly excited for this volume and the team we have this year! To find out who they are, head on over to our Meet the Team section of the website. They’re awesome!

Lastly, be sure to keep an eye on this space for important dates. I’ll get you some information on our open editorial board meetings, publication dates, and due dates very soon.

Take care and read well. Illegitimi non carborundum
