The theme of Atrium Issue 6 will be "Haunting."
.
. Proposals must be submitted by August 15. If your proposal is accepted the article will be due by September 30.
. All articles and art work should speak to, or be inspired by, the issue's theme in some way. Atrium encourages potential authors to think creatively about broad interpretations of the theme both concrete and abstract applications of theme are welcome. For more on the goals of Atrium, please see the Fall 2006 issue of ASBH Exchange and the Snapshot feature from our inaugural issue. At this time, we are not considering fiction or poetry.
. Atrium publishes original articles of varying lengths. The maximum is 3,500 words, and there is no minimum. There are more openings for shorter pieces (in the 1,000 word range) than longer pieces. The word limit for the piece on the back cover, "Snapshot," is 450. Please limit yourself to five footnotes or endnotes.
