Submit Work to Pegasus

While Pegasus understands the value of difficult conversations and uncomfortable ideas, certain concepts can be extremely upsetting or inappropriate for a school creative arts magazine, and we must be understanding and accommodating of peoples’ sensitivities. We also must follow school guidelines regarding sensitive content.

Editorial Policies

• Submission of a piece does not guarantee publication on the Pegasus website or print magazine.
• Creators may request a submission be removed from the website at any time (please note that this is not possible for the printed magazine if it has been submitted to the printer).
• All submissions remain the intellectual property of the creator.
• All submissions are subject to editing at the discretion of the Pegasus Staff in consultation with the author.

Guidelines for Submission

Some of these are not hard-and-fast rules, and may be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re in doubt of whether or not your work would be acceptable, please submit it, and be assured that our staff will work directly with you to address any concerns or gray areas we find, and to explain our decision if we cannot accept a submission.

All submissions to Pegasus should:

• Be edited for standard conventions (unless they’re intentionally broken)
• Refrain from mention of specific means or intent around topics of self-harm or suicide
• Avoid romanticizing or encouraging substance use or abuse
• Refrain from defamation. Interpersonal references should be anonymous; use of real names or likenesses requires explicit consent from the subject(s).
• Avoid hate speech in a derogatory sense. (Used in a neutral sense to explain how one was referred to is acceptable. Used in a hurtful, directed fashion is not.)
• Avoid gratuitous/graphic violence
• Avoid depictions of explicit sex
• Avoid gratuitous profanity or vulgar language for no creative effect
• Avoid the use of artificial intelligence or generative tools except for minor touchups as allowed by programs such as Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop
