Summer Break News

We hope you've all had an excellent summer break this year, and hopefully you've all had a chance to work on some excellent art or writing to contribute to the upcoming 2011 Parnassus, which will be getting underway very soon! We're looking forward to getting yet another amazing edition of our little book started up once more, and we hope you are, too. We'll be putting up flyers near the beginning of the fall semester to advertise for new (and old alike) staff members to our first meeting of the year, which will likely be the second or third week of the semester. More information will be posted here, as well. If you're interested, please do come, or feel free to email us for more information.

If you've been waiting to get a copy of the 2010 edition, a large stack will be put out a the beginning of the fall semester in our usual spot in the C building lobby, so come by and get one if you haven't yet. Enjoy the final weeks of the break, and we'll see you all soon!

The 2010 Parnassus Has Officially Arrived!



The 2010 Parnassus has finally arrived on campus! Copies can be found in several spots around school, but most predominately in our usual green (now even more green) stand in the C building lobby in the Haverhill campus. Please go by and take a copy for yourself (and grandma, too!) We're extra proud of this issue, which features our Guest Artist, Professor Marc Mannheimer, as well as our special section featuring work from the NECC Poets group. And of course all the usual amazing work from NECC students, which is exploding from the pages in full color. It's our most visually exciting issue yet, and we think the best one in our 45 years thus far.

There is also a bunch of free "limited edition" Parnassus bookmarks on the stand, featuring the names of all of our accepted contributors to this year's issue. Grab one while they last!

Check it out, and please let us know what you think! Enjoy, and have a great break!



The 2010 Parnassus Release Party and Open Mic!

We held our annual release party and open mic reading this past Monday, May 3rd in the NECC Tech Center, and the turnout and support was fantastic! A great crowd came out to celebrate the release of the 2010 Parnassus.We had a fabulous selection of poetry and fiction readers who came and shared their work with the crowd. Many thanks to all who came to read and all who came to listen and support Parnassus!

Spring 2010 Parnassus Submissions are Now Closed!!

The staff has convened, and our final picks for the 2010 issue of Parnassus have been made. Thanks so much to everyone who submitted this semester, and over the entire year as well. We have contacted everyone who was accepted this year, so if you submitted and did not hear from us, your work was passed over this time. As always, we hope everyone will submit again the next time we have a submission deadline in November. We always appreciate as many submissions as possible.

We'll get to work now on putting together the 2010 issue, which we expect to be ready at the start of May, just before the finals period. We're looking forward to printing the great work we received this year. Keep an eye on this spot for sneak previews of the new issue.



Spring 2010 Parnassus Submissions are Open!

Our crazy posters are back up in the halls of NECC once more, and the submission box has crawled out of its winter hibernation; it's the last chance for Parnassus 2010 submissions! Our deadline this semester is Monday, March 22nd, which is the Monday following spring break. Any active NECC students are welcome to submit as much short fiction, poetry, creative non fiction, art, or photography in consideration for publishing in the 2010 Parnassus. If you didn't already know, Parnassus is currently in the top ten of all collegiate literary arts magazines, and we're first place in the East as well - this is a great resume piece and something to be really proud of, and this is your last chance to have your work considered for our next issue. Submit today!

We look forward to seeing your work! Thanks!



Winter Break, 2010

Winter Break News

Winter has fallen upon New England, and Parnassus has gone into temporary hibernation. Our fall submissions process went well; we've contacted all of those who were accepted. Despite the great submissions in the fall, we will definitely be in need of many more submissions in the spring to make the 2010 edition the best it can be. Keep an eye around campus and here online for information on our upcoming spring submission drive.

The last batch of the multi-award winning 2009 edition will be put out in the C building at the start of the spring semester on the week of January 25th. If you haven't gotten one yet, grab one as soon as you can, because they move quickly, and once they're gone, they're gone!

Good luck to you all for a great spring semester, and we look forward to your submissions in March!
