Submitting your work
Before submitting, read at least one full issue to understand the journal's aesthetic and thematic concerns. Common Ground Review values work that demonstrates a clear sense of craft and a willingness to engage with the complexities of human experience without resorting to polemic. Fiction submissions should be under 5,000 words; poetry up to five poems. Include a brief cover letter that situates your work in relation to the journal's mission, but avoid lengthy biographical summaries. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Response times vary, so patience is appreciated.
