FAQ's
What is The Crambo?
Crambo is a rhyming game. The Crambo is a literary journal produced by graduate students in the Kennesaw State University Master's of Professional Writing program. It is the only literary journal produced by graduate students using only graduate student work.
How do you play the game?
The first player says a word or verse for the others to rhyme. (And when the others think of one, in they chime!)
What genres do you accept?
We publish graduate student work in poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, screenplays, cartoons, short graphic fiction, and visual art.
Since you are named after a rhyming game, do you focus on poetry?
No! While the game might be all about rhyming, the journal is all about getting the best work by graduate students in any of our accepted genres. In fact, we would love to see more submissions from all of our different genres.
