Call for Undergraduate Work on Civil Rights and Race The year 2013 marks several important anniversaries

related to, directly leading up to, and resulting from the American Civil Rights Movement. To honor these, Queen City Writers will publish undergraduate works related to civil rights and race relations in our Spring 2014 issue. We seek critical essays grounded in research; multimedia pieces including video, audio, photography, and mixed media; rhetorical analyses; and outstanding essays that show thinking outside the box. Please consider submitting your relevant and excellent work. For a full explanation of our focus and submission guidelines, please see: http://qcwriters.com/submissions/. We do require a brief faculty verification email for every submission, so please ask your professor to forward an email to us or expect to hear from us if you submit work. Queen City Writers is a refereed journal that publishes essays and multimedia work by undergraduate students affiliated with any post-secondary institution. Our Spring 2014 issue will be themed, but we always seek thought-provoking undergraduate essays and multimedia works related to our focus on writing, rhetoric, reading, literacy, popular culture and media, community discourses, and multimodal and digital composing. For more information or to see if our journal is a good fit for your work, see us at http://qc-writers.com/. Contact editors at qcwriters@gmail.com.
