Once again, autumn is here, and with the changing leaves and suddenly too-frigid temperatures the Bolo Tie Collective is gearing up for the new academic year. And that means events and happenings for the month of October.

Early October: Volume IV Call for Submissions

Submissions are now open for the next volume of our anthology. Check out our Call for Submissions page for all the info, but in short, we’re looking for short fiction, flash fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. Submissions will close at midnight-ish on Friday, January 4, 2019.

Oct. 3: Fall Bake Sale

Okay, yes, this has already happened. Yesterday, to be precise. But just so’s you know, we had another successful bake sale, raising money aplenty for our upcoming book launch and next year’s Volume IV.

Oct. 18: Volume III Book Launch

Oct. 24: October Workshop
