We welcome Guest Essay submissions from the entire Wofford community. Guest Essay authors must be affiliated with Wofford College. Guest Essays are evaluated at the discretion of the Editorial Staff. They should be submitted via email to [email protected] and should run between 300 and 500 words. Guest Essays are subject to editing for libel, grammar, content and space and may be published in print, online or both, depending on space and editorial needs. Except in highly unusual cases, we require that Guest Essays be signed by one to three named individuals. We will not accept articles that have been authored under a pseudonym or by an organization as a whole; even for pieces with named individual authors, we will not accept articles that do not advance an argument beyond the mission statement of a given organization. Guest Essays by non-Old Gold & Black writers may not include reported content such as interviews with other parties. We also will not accept Guest Essays that are explicitly written in response to previously published content; please submit a “Letter to the Editor” for pieces in response to our content.
