Submission Guidelines
Lawrence Reviewed is soliciting digital stories from members of the KU and Lawrence community that thoughtfully engage with memories and experiences of events, artifacts, landmarks, and institutions on campus and the surrounding city. We are asking for the contribution of reviews in the style of John Green’s The Anthropocene Review to be shared on this website. Submissions can take the form of short podcasts, videos, multimedia essays, and other forms. We just ask that you share your experiences and provide a rating on the 5-star scale.
Format
Text submissions should be between 500 and 1500 words. Audio and video submissions should be between 5 and 10 minutes.
Content
This website is not Yelp or Google Reviews. While you may want to share a lower rating, as with Green’s book, the focus should be on your connection to a place or object and include thoughtful analysis. Entries should not be about attacking any particular place or person. Hate speech will not be tolerated. It is at the discretion of the project directors whether a review can be posted.
If you are interested in submitting works as a group, please contact us so we can set up a specific page for your course or organization.
If at any time you wish to have your review removed from the website, please email us. This is a public website, and what you publish will be accessible to anyone.
Submissions will be reviewed the last week of each month. Submissions that do not follow content guidelines or file formats will be automatically discarded.
All submissions and queries can be sent to lawrencereviewed@gmail.com.
