We want to see your creative work!

We will begin accepting submissions for our 2026 issue in Fall 2025.

​

Submission Types: We publish all art forms, including short stories, poetry, drama, art & photography, music, creative short films, graphic texts, and podcasts. 

 

Format: Send your submission as an attachment in a standard text format such as .doc, .docx, or as plain text (.txt) or as a common image file type such as .png, .jpeg, or .bmp to commonthread@aum.edu. Also, please include in the subject line of the email the kind of submission followed by the title of the work (e.g. Subject: Poem – “My Poem’s Title”). There is no limit on the number of submissions per person. Submissions not accepted for the current edition are eligible for forwarding to the next edition of Common Thread.

​

Word Limit: Please limit writing submissions to 4000 words or less; however, if the editors determine that a longer work calls for a full treatment in Common Thread, a submission in excess of this limit may still be considered for print publication. Longer works will be published in full for the digital edition of the magazine.

​

Common Thread only accepts and publishes work from students and faculty associated with Auburn University at Montgomery.
