EnglishHow to Submit Writing or Art to Nassau Weekly
Updated
Nassau Weekly accepts submissions through three distinct channels listed in its site navigation: a general piece submission, a Verbatim submission, and a poetry/fiction competition submission. To submit, go to the "Submit" section of nassauweekly.com and choose the form that matches your work. The publication describes itself as Princeton's alternative weekly newspaper, published every Sunday with campus, local, and national news — so submissions should fit that Princeton-oriented, student-run context.
The three submission routes
| Route | What it's for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Submit a piece | General writing and creative work | "Submit ▾ → SUBMIT a piece" in the site menu |
| Submit a Verbatim | Overheard quotes and short verbatim snippets | "Submit ▾ → Submit a Verbatim" |
| Poetry/fiction competition | Competition entries in poetry and fiction | "Submit ▾ → Submit to poetry/fiction competition" |
The site's Submit menu is the authoritative entry point; the exact form fields and deadlines aren't specified in the available site content, so check the linked pages before you draft.
What kinds of work fit
The published sections give a clear picture of accepted categories:
- Essays — e.g., "Nass Recommends" pieces and personal essays
- Fiction — short stories such as "February 11th" and "Haircut City"
- Poetry — including competition entries
- Art and cartoons — listed under the site's content sections
- Verbatim — overheard remarks, published as short quoted items (e.g., "Overheard at Move-In," "Overheard in Midtown Manhattan")
- Crosswords — puzzle contributions appear in the lineup
If your work fits one of these, use the general "Submit a piece" route unless it's specifically a Verbatim or a competition entry.
Steps to submit
- Open nassauweekly.com and locate the Submit menu in the navigation.
- Pick the route: general piece, Verbatim, or poetry/fiction competition.
- Prepare your work in the category it belongs to (essay, fiction, poetry, art, cartoon, crossword, or Verbatim quote).
- Submit through the corresponding form.
- Verify: after submitting, confirm you received any confirmation the form provides; if the form lists a response window, wait within it before following up.
Common snags: choosing the wrong form (a competition entry sent through the general form, or vice versa); submitting a Verbatim as a full piece; and missing that the site's menu uses a "Submit ▾" dropdown, so the options only appear after you open it.
Other ways to get involved
Beyond submitting work, the site lists "join us" under its About menu, alongside About, Donate, and Advertise. If you want to contribute regularly rather than send a one-off piece, start there. For context on the publication's style before submitting, browse recent issues and the "You Should Read" selections on the homepage.
One caution: the available site content doesn't state submission deadlines, word limits, or payment terms, so don't assume any — confirm details on the individual submission pages before you send your work.
