PRODUCT is a student-run, online literary journal produced annually through the Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi. Current submissions are open.  We publish poetry, fiction and non-fiction. We also feature the work of visual artists. At Product, we love to hear from writers and artists of all backgrounds, especially those historically underrepresented in literary publishing.

This year our theme is ‘Inspiring Hope for the Future’. In a cultural moment that feels dominated by despair and distortion, it is far too easy to lose faith in our art. For this Product issue, we want to see what gives you hope, what inspires you to keep marching towards the horizon.
