I-70 Review

Submitting your work

I-70 Review accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction year-round, though response times can be slow (typically 3-6 months). Writers are advised to read an issue before submitting to understand the journal's aesthetic, which favors clear, image-rich language and strong narrative arcs. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. The journal does not charge submission fees, but it also does not offer payment beyond contributor copies. When submitting, include a brief cover letter with your publication history, if any, and a short bio. Electronic submissions are preferred via the journal's website; postal submissions are accepted but discouraged. The editors appreciate concise, well-proofread work and are particularly interested in pieces that engage with place, community, and the intersections of landscape and memory.

For fiction, we like short pieces that surprise us. We reject stereotypical or cliched fiction or poetry, as well as sentimental work that tells rather than shows. See the website for submission guidelines. We will read your submissions promptly and contact you promptly. We prefer submissions e-mailed to [email protected] . Please do not send us work you have not carefully revised and revised again. We read hundreds of submissions during the reading period and accept only the very best submitted.
