FICTION & NONFICTION
We consider short fiction and personal essays with contemporary themes (no genre fiction or literary criticism). There is no specific word or page count; generally, however, Colorado Review prefers short stories and essays that are somewhere between 15 and 25 manuscript pages. Please submit one story or essay at a time.
POETRY
We consider poetry of any style. Please limit poetry submissions to no more than five poems with a maximum of 15 pages at a time. Please also keep in mind that line lengths are limited by the size of our print journal; we can only fit up to 60 characters (including spaces and punctuation) per line.
BOOK REVIEWS
We do not accept unsolicited book reviews. If you would like to submit a book review, please send queries to respective editors listed on our guidelines. Reviewers are compensated with a one-year subscription to CR. Please note that we now publish reviews only on our website.
Fiction & poetry manuscripts are read from August 1 to April 30; nonfiction manuscripts, however, are read year-round. Fiction & poetry manuscripts received between May 1 and July 31 will be returned unread.
Colorado Review purchases First North American Serial Rights; all rights revert to the author upon publication in CR. We pay $10 per page ($30 minimum) for poetry and $200 for short stories and essays. Authors also receive two copies of the issue in which they are published and a one-year subscription to CR.
