Sand Hills is now accepting work from all artists and writers in the U.S. Our first national publication will debut in Spring 2018.

Sand Hills, Augusta University’s premiere little magazine, has been committed to publishing the highest quality of creative writing and visual art since 1973. Formerly a student-only publication, Sand Hills has featured work by award-winning authors and alumnae Louise Shivers and Judith Ortiz Cofer. More recently, our contributors have also published in The Oxford American, Seventeen, and Playboy. Named for a 19th century rural Augusta suburb, where the Summerville campus of Augusta University now stands, Sand Hills has a tradition of honoring and preserving history and place through art, as well as to breaking new ground. As Blaney Prigden wrote in his preface to the first issue, “our title [. . .] alludes to a place of transition between related areas.”

General Guidelines: We seek to publish the best drama, poetry, prose (creative nonfiction and fiction), and visual art created by U.S. residents. We also have an ongoing interest in and commitment to publishing work by Augusta University students.

While we do accept simultaneous submissions, we do not accept previously published work (including self-published material in print or online) at this time. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw your work from Sand Hills as soon as possible.

Genre-specific submission guidelines and forms are available below. Failure to adhere to the guidelines may result in disqualification.

All submissions are read blind by the Sand Hills staff (Augusta University students and faculty). A $200 prize will be awarded in each of the following categories: poetry, prose (fiction, creative nonfiction, drama), and visual artwork.

For questions about the magazine, email sandhillsmagazine@augusta.edu.
