Call for Submissions: the Meadowlark Review

Submissions to The Meadowlark Review are currently OPEN until August 15. 

 

To submit, email your piece and a short bio to:

 

meadowlarkreview@gmail.com

 

During our reading periods, we accept:

• Short fiction and nonfiction between 10 and 5,000 words

• Poetry

There is no submission fee. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, as long as you let us know and withdraw your work as soon as it is accepted elsewhere. We will accept submissions of multiple pieces as long as the combined word count is less than 5,000 words. Please send such submissions in one document and label them clearly.

Based in Laramie, Wyoming, we’re inspired by the American West, but we love work that pushes against the traditional Western narrative, as well as new perspectives, unexpected twists, and pieces that have absolutely nothing to do with the West. We are especially interested in hybrid works and works that break the mold and push the boundaries of today’s literature.

The Meadowlark Review welcomes submissions from writers of all identities, working anywhere in the world, and we especially seek to find and support work by writers who are often marginalized within literary spaces due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and/or other aspect(s) of identity.

Upon acceptance, we ask for first publication rights as well as the rights to feature your work for the lifetime of The Meadowlark Review. All rights revert to the author after publication. If your piece is reprinted elsewhere, please mention that it first appeared here (and also let us know—we’d love to help promote it!)
