Been working on a short story or poem? Been taking some photographs?

Submit them to ECHO for the chance to be published in our 2013 Issue. We are doing our best to make this ECHO the best one yet, but the most important part is the content, and for that we need you! Our theme for the issue is “Flux,” but keep in mind that is a loose guideline.

So finish that story, finish that poem, finish those pictures, and submit them to ECHO by March 20.

You can submit your work by emailing echolitmag@gmail.com.
