The Georgia Review welcomes submissions both online and by post from August 15 to May 15. We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts outside this period.
All manuscripts receive serious, careful attention; each submission is read by a published writer in a salaried position at The Georgia Review. We aim to respond to submissions within ten months. Committed to supporting authors at all stages in their careers, The Georgia Review pays contributors. Journal subscribers can submit for free during our general submissions period (excluding contests); general paper submissions by mail are free (aside from the cost of postage) to subscribers and non-subscribers.
Work previously published in any form will not be considered. Please tell us in your cover letter if your submission is simultaneously being considered elsewhere, and please let us know immediately, via Submittable, if your work is accepted by another publication. Likewise, please notify us if any part of your submission is known to be included in a book already accepted by a publisher (include the anticipated date of book publication).
At The Georgia Review, we view literature as a rich and ever-unfolding human conversation—as demonstrated by our commitment to editorial exchange and our focus on fostering literary community. In keeping with this ethos, we are interested in literature written by humans. Please do not send us work written or assisted by generative AI.
We do not publish work by current University of Georgia students.

The Georgia Review’s current standard pay rates for our print issues are $50 per printed page for prose and $4 per line for poetry, up to $800. In addition, all contributors receive two copies of the issue their work appears in and a 50% discount on additional copies of that issue.
The Georgia Review buys first North American serial rights and non-exclusive digital rights only. All other rights revert to the author at publication, but we offer formal, written reassignments upon request.
