Submissions are now being accepted for its sixth edition, due out in spring 2012. The submission deadline is Dec. 31, 2011. All submissions, along with any questions, should be addressed to Noel Sloboda, assistant professor of English and publication adviser, at njs16@psu.edu. “Any Other Word” is a creative outlet for members of the Penn State York community -- students, staff and faculty -- and was created to showcase literary talents and unite artistic minds. Work on the first issue began in the fall of 2006.
Submissions published in “Any Other Word” are selected by a board of directors who read all entries submitted and make selections. All authors retain full copyrights on their works. The student adviser has the final say on what is published. The publication takes its name from the quote by William Shakespeare, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.”
