While this is my personal account, I'm currently in a practicum class that helps run these two markets (we treat them as one, since Shards is the online arm of Glass Mountain). To my surprise, I hadn't seen a thread on us yet, so here it is.
*Puts on Assistant Editor hat* Glass Mountain and Shards are the undergraduate-run literary magazines (GM in print, Shards online) from the University of Houston. We focus on emerging writers and giving them a voice in the community with their work. We are not strictly literary, as we also accept pieces that are genre, poetry, reviews and interviews, nonfiction, and art. Glass Mountain publishes once a semester for print, whereas Shards publishes every other month. Besides our submission guidelines for pieces, our only other requirement is that the author/artist of the piece not have a MFA, PhD or attended such level of creative work. Those that have would be better suited to submitting to Gulf Coast, University of Houston's graduate-run magazine. We are a non-paying market.
If you want to learn more about us and possibly submit, the website is https://www.glassmountainmag.com/
If this is in the wrong area, mods, please feel free to move it. *hat off*
Also, if you go to the Shards staff page, I'm on the left in the picture for this year's group (me when I actually am not in my pajamas, like my profile pic ).
So, any questions/concerns/quippage about this band of undergrad publishers who based their market name off a Donald Barthleme piece? If I don't know it, I can forward it to our upper editors and/or our faculty advisor. Also, I'm barred from submitting here until after I leave the team. We're also pretty active in the local writing community and have several events throughout the year.
