The staff will consider all original media, including poetry, plays, short fiction, songs, audio, video, translations, essays, creative nonfiction, art criticism, book reviews, autobiographical prose, interviews, storyboards, comics, photography, and art for publication in the next issues. The magazine includes work by Joliet Junior College students, alumni, faculty, and staff. A student editorial staff determines the content of issues. Prizes are awarded by faculty jurors in each issue.
Wordeater exists as a forum of creative expression for the Joliet Junior College community, including students, alumni, faculty, and staff. It celebrates the diversity of ideas, beliefs, values, language, media, and people of its community. It seeks to promote artistic, personal, and political expression, democratic values, and social justice, including fairness and equal opportunity, rights, and access. Wordeater rejects censorship and attempts to reflect the artistry and lives of its community, while embracing JJC’s Core Values of respect, integrity, collaboration, humor and well-being, innovation, and quality.
