Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines
Apalachee Review welcomes poetry, fiction, and nonfiction from emerging and established writers alike. Send us your best work! Submission Manager: Submissions can be made using Submission Manager. If you haven’t done so, please create a new account. You may check your submission status and/or withdraw your submission by logging back in.
Publication schedule: Our goal is to publish once a year. As soon as we have enough material we publish an issue. Be nice to us: We try to send a reply in 4-6 months, but sometimes we get bogged down. This is especially true when we are going to press. Your manuscript is one of hundreds, and we try to read every one. All our editors are volunteers; so if you don’t hear from us, feel free to ask about the status of your manuscript, but be polite. Do we mind simultaneous submissions? No. You’re crazy if you don’t send simultaneous submissions. In fact, we think that editors who forbid simultaneous submissions can’t possibly be writers. Just drop us a line if you’ve sent us a story or poem that has been taken by another magazine. Cover letters: If you choose to write a cover letter, mention a few of your previous publications if you have published before. However, don’t be discouraged if you haven’t published, we are always looking for work by talented unpublished writers. Fiction: Send only one short story up to 6000 words (or 2-3 flash or micro fiction). Stories should be typed, double-spaced, and proofread. Don’t send manuscripts of novels or short story collections. We do like to see chapters of novels, but they have to work on their own. Poetry: Send no more than 3-5 poems, double or single-spaced. Don’t send book manuscripts. Creative non-fiction: We are delighted to publish interestingly written non-fiction pieces on any subject. We are not looking for journalism, scholarly writing, or book reviews. The length requirement is the same as fiction. Distribution: AR has national distribution and subscribers in all fifty states, as well as in Europe, Asia, and South America. Payment: Two copies. Rights: All future rights belong to the individual authors or artists. Apalachee Review, 2048 Shady Oaks Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 –Email questions to arsubmissions@gmail.com For writers living outside of the United States: please query at ARsubmissions@gmail.com to learn about our policies for submissions by non-U.S.-based writers.
