Guidelines






Thank you for your interest in River & South Review. 

Submissions are currently closed and will reopen in autumn 2016. 

River & South Review is published semiannually in Summer (May) and Winter (December). Submissions are accepted during specific times only, approximately two months prior to publication. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer payment to contributors at this time. We accept only previously unpublished work. Rights revert to author upon publication. 

River & South Review seeks quality submissions of short fiction and nonfiction (up to 1200 words total), and poetry (up to three poems). Special issues may feature specific and/or additional genres. Regardless of genre, we seek well-crafted pieces that demonstrate skill with form and language, explore boundaries, and engage readers. 

River & South Review only publishes new writing from emerging writers of any age who have not gone on to a graduate writing degree. We consider submissions from undergraduates, writers without a formal education, and writers from other professions. 

Submissions are currently closed and will reopen in autumn 2016.
