Am I eligible to submit?

We accept submissions from everyone, regardless of age, gender, or geographic location. All submissions are read blindly in order to ensure that decisions are free from discrimination or bias against any creative based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, gender, disability or marital status. In other words, if you are someone who has a story to tell, we would love to hear it.

Am I eligible to apply for a position on staff?

We accept staff applications from everyone, regardless of geographic location. We generally prefer staff members to be above the age of 16, but we are willing to consider an exceptionally mature and insightful student who is younger than 16. Please keep in mind that staff members cannot contribute to the journal; however, past contributors are eligible to apply for a staff position.

You’ve been considering my submission for longer than the two weeks listed as the average response time on the Submit page. What does this mean?

We are still debating on our decision! Please hang tight, and we will respond to you soon. If a month has passed with no response from our end, please feel free to reach out at counterclockjournal@gmail.com.
