For prose, submit one story or essay. (You may submit both a story and an essay if you wish; please submit them separately.) It is unlikely that we will publish work that is longer than 10,000 words, though we will consider it.

Reviews/Criticism

We accept reviews of novels, short story collections, poetry collections, memoir, and essay collections. We give preference to reviews that focus on recent titles (published within the last year and/or are forthcoming). Please be sure to include the publisher, page count, and date of the book release.
