The McNeese Review - Submissions

The McNeese Review

Submissions

The McNeese Review welcomes submissions of unpublished short fiction, poetry, literary nonfiction, interviews, and original (black-and-white) art and photos. We value clarity of image, complex worldviews, genuine emotion, character, coherency, compression, and all the right words put in interesting combinations. While vampires are fine, ditto spaceships, please only send genre-inspired work if the vampire or spaceship in question brings something new to the literary party.

We're excited to read your work! Please read the relevant section below for print or blog submissions.

Print Journal Submissions

We're sorry, but the submissions period for the print journal has ended, and, having gathered all the best ingredients, we're busy cooking up the new issue for your delectation. Please check back, or better yet, friend us on Facebook for the latest news about submissions and all manner of things of literary interest.

Blog Submissions

The pieces we’ll post at the blog will go up continuously as we find them. They’ll need to be short (prose, for instance, up to about 1,000 words max), and they need to fit in one of the following categories, which we hope will cover nearly everything we might like:

Fiction
Nonfiction
Poetry
Reviews [of books, especially those underrepresented in the media]
Interviews [mostly of writers, poets, publishers, creative writing teachers, et al]
Rec Room [where writers and poets recommend other artists]
Louisiana [and the Gulf region]

We’ll consider re-posting quality work posted or published elsewhere. If we take it first we only ask for a 30-day head start before you publish it again.

Payment in all cases will be the satisfying glow of a job well done, our eternal admiration, and as wide and growing an audience as we can provide.

We're accepting work now. Send all blog submissions to: mreviewblog@mcneese.edu.

No material published in The McNeese Review or its accompanying website may be reprinted or reproduced, in whole or in part, without the permission of the authors. We ask for ourselves only that The McNeese Review be credited with first publication.

Thank you!
