Who can contribute to Blueprint?

Anyone! Everything you see in the magazine was included from an open submission callout. Getting printed is as simple as sending your work in. And though we are a student-run publication, submissions from non-students and non-Laurier students are more than welcome.

What can I contribute?

For detailed information on submissions, please refer to our submission guidelines.

Will you accept [insert idea here] as a submission?

We’re pretty much open to whatever ideas you may have for submissions. You don’t have to “pitch” an idea to us – just send it in and we’ll consider it for inclusion in the magazine..

Why was my submission not published?

If your piece is not included in the print edition, don’t be discouraged. The high number of submissions we receive, combined with the limited number of pages we have to fill, means that only so many articles can make it in. Quality is only one of the many factors that go into the selection process; we look for pieces that balance one another so that many perspectives are covered.

If you would like to discuss a submission, inquire as to why a submission was not published or ask for tips to improve future submissions, do not hesitate to contact Editor-in-Chief Erin Epp here.
