Barton Community College’s annual literary journal publishes seventh issue
Editors of Barton Community College’s literary journal “Prairie Ink” aim to provide a venue for local authors to showcase their creative writing talents, and have done so again with the release of their seventh issue of the annual publication.
The collection of fiction, poetry, drama and non-fiction is open to submissions from Barton students, employees of community members who live in Barton’s seven-county service area and the Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth and Grandview Plaza outreach location. This year’s issue boasts a diverse collection of literary styles, which cover a wide array of subjects.
The editors collect submissions throughout the fall and early winter months and publish at the end of every summer. Copies are distributed to public libraries, high school libraries, businesses and on the Barton campuses.
A digital copy of the publication can be found by going to prairieink.bartonccc.edu. Those who would like a hard copy of “Prairie Ink” can email the editors at prairieink@bartonccc.edu or call (620) 792-9200.
Submissions for the eighth issue will be accepted through February 1, 2017. Work can be submitted for publication by emailing prairieink@bartonccc.edu.
