Editorial focus
The Georgia Review seeks to create a lasting environment for literature by supporting writers at every stage of their careers. Committed to the art of editorial practice, the Review collaborates with authors of essays, stories, poems, and reviews in pursuit of works of enduring appeal that engage with the evolving concerns and interests of readers from around the world.
Submitting your work
The Georgia Review welcomes unsolicited submissions of essays, poetry, and fiction, but prospective contributors should first consult the journal's detailed guidelines online. Essays should demonstrate a strong narrative voice and intellectual depth, typically ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 words. Simultaneous submissions are accepted with prompt notification of acceptance elsewhere. The review values work that engages with contemporary issues while maintaining a timeless literary quality. Response times vary, often taking three to six months, so patience is advised. Payment is competitive, and contributors receive two copies of the issue.
Convinced that communities thrive when built on dialogue that honors the difference between any two interlocutors, we publish imaginative work that challenges us to reconsider any line, distinction, or thought in danger of becoming too rigid or neat, so that our readers can continue the conversations in their own lives.
