All entries are virtually anonymous until a decision about publication is reached. Any entries deemed acceptable are published in the yearly issue released at the end of the spring semester. At this point, copies are distributed at an Oak Tree Review event. Students can also attain copies around campus, similar to the distribution method of the SAU Pulse.
The Oak Tree Review will host a poetry reading in the Prop Shop on Nov. 17. The event begins at 8:30 p.m., and it will show what the Review may sound like when it is finalized this year. The event will give poets young and old an opportunity for peer review and feedback.
The Review is waiting for writers to submit their work. Tibus said, “This journal is a way for students to see what it is like to have their work published in a university literary journal. It’s both a challenge and an opportunity, a way to go to the next level with your writing.”
Posters will soon be posted advertising the Review and submission criteria.
To submit work to The Oak Tree Review simply place it in a Word document and email it to theoaktreereview@gmail.com. Also, join their Facebook group to receive updates and event notifications.
