Submissions

Submissions are currently closed.

Thank you for your interest in submitting to The Swannanoa Review. We eagerly accept submissions from writers of all backgrounds and experiences. 

We primarily seek poetry and fiction (including works of translation). We are also open to craft essays and interviews with writers, but would like to work with you on shaping this work: please email theswannanoareview@gmail.com with pitches. 

For all submissions, please use a legible font and submit in a .doc or .docx file. PDFs are okay if you need to preserve specific formatting. Please remove your name or other identifying information from both the file name and the included pages. 

If you have been published in The Swannanoa Review, we kindly request you wait until the next calendar year to submit again (though we appreciate your enthusiasm and support!).

For poetry: please submit 3-5 poems.

For fiction (short stories and flash fiction) and creative nonfiction and essay: please submit no more than 15 pages of prose. 

If the submission charge is a barrier to submitting, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at theswannananoareview@gmail.com and we'll work with you.
