Call for Submissions: Pleiades

•Pleiades is open for regular submissions during the month of June. Please note that submissions sent outside the submission period and submissions with no selected genre will not be considered. Unsolicited poetry, fiction, translations (submit under “poetry), and nonfiction should be submitted via our online submissions manager. Unfortunately, we cannot consider paper submissions and emailed submissions, and mailed manuscripts will be recycled. Please do not submit more than once in a given genre during each reading period. Due to staffing changes and an unprecedented volume of submissions, our response time is longer than usual. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. *Book Review submissions will be on hiatus until September 1.

• Please remember to select the genre of your submission, as submissions sent with no genre marked will not be read. Translations can be submitted under “poetry”.

• Though we attend to submissions as quickly as possible, please allow up to six months before querying.

• We are especially interested in reading submissions from writers from historically marginalized communities as part of our commitment to a broad representation of dynamic work.

• Writers should review past issues of Pleiades to get a sense of our aesthetic and preferences. Order Pleiades here.

• Pleiades DOES accept simultaneous submissions, but we ask that you notify us immediately if a piece is accepted elsewhere. *If you need to withdraw your work from consideration, please email the appropriate genre editor with the subject line “Withdrawal.”

• To have a book considered for review, send a review copy to: Pleiades Book Review • Dept of English, Martin 336 • University of Central Missouri • Warrensburg, MO 64093. Please note: not all books received will be reviewed, though we do review 40+ books in each year.
