Theme for Michaelmas Term 2025
The Poor Print warmly welcomes submissions from any member of Oriel College – JCR, MCR, SCR or staff. Please send them to us via our submission form using the button above. (The form requires you to use a Google account – if this poses a problem for you, please send your submission to us at the email address mentioned in the form.)
We can publish basically anything: articles, prose compositions, poetry, artwork, music compositions/recordings/playlists, crosswords, memes, or anything else you can think of are all welcomed. Check out the pieces uploaded to this website for a flavour of what we accept.
There’s no need to check ideas for pieces with us – but if you’d like to, feel free! As a rough guide, we ask that most written pieces other than poetry be between 200 and 1200 words, but this is far from a hard-and-fast rule. Don’t let us limit your creativity!
Each edition has a theme to stimulate submissions and a deadline for submissions: please see the poster for this term above. Feel free to interpret the themes however you like, or entirely disregard them if you prefer.
Happy writing! 🦁
