Black Warrier Review (Call For Submissions)
Submission Guidelines
General- We do NOT accept unsolicited e-mail submissions.
- We read submissions year-round, though our response time is slower in the summer. The average response time for submissions is between 2 and 4 months. If you have not received a response after 4 months (excepting the summer), send a query and SASE through the mail, or email us at , and we'll check on the status of your submission.
- Unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned unless accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) and proper postage.
- Please do not mix genres in the same envelope.
- We encourage you to read Black Warrior Review before submitting. Sample issues are available for $10; one-year subscriptions for $16.
- Simultaneous submissions are fine, if noted (please notify us immediately if the work is accepted somewhere else).
Fiction- Limit of 7500 words. Send query for longer works. We are open to all styles; most important to us is quality of work. Include only one story per envelope (sending more than one short-short per envelope is fine). Please don't submit again until you've gotten a response. We generally only consider novel excerpts from novels already completed and contracted for publication.
Poetry- Limit poetry submissions to seven poems.
Non-Fiction- We consider creative personal essays and lyric essays. We do not typically publish academic articles.
Art- For cover art and portfolios, please send prints.
Comics- For comics, please send prints.
Interviews- Occasionally, we do print interviews if they are highly engaging. Query or send full interview mss.
Rights- All rights reserved. All rights revert to the author upon publication.
Payment- Black Warrior Review pays a one-year subscription, and up to $150 for prose and $75 for poems, depending on availability of funds.
