The winning selections for the 2015 Freelancer have been announced.

The annual school literary magazine accepted poetry, short stories, essays and reflections from students and staff.

Writers’ Corner Coordinator, Charlie Clark, said the Freelancer had its highest submission rate with over 80 written submissions and 80 artwork submissions.

“Each freelancer seems to be it’s own entity. This semester we had a ton of non-fiction,” said Clark. “Last semester we had a ton of poetry.”

Submissions for the next edition of the Freelancer are currently being accepted.

“Just give it a shot. You might get some lunch money just for taking the chance,” said Clark.

Clark said the Freelancer is expected to come out the first week of May. Issues will be distributed at coffee shops around town, the Writers’ Corner and other campus locations.

First place winners received $75, second place winners received $50 and third place winners received $25 each.
