Jet Fuel Review

Submitting your work

Writers should approach Jet Fuel Review with an awareness of its academic context and its commitment to craft. The journal reads submissions from September 1 to November 30 for its spring issue and from February 1 to April 30 for its fall issue, though these windows may shift slightly; always consult the website for current guidelines. Submit polished work that demonstrates a clear command of language and a distinctive perspective—the editors favor poems and prose that feel urgent and necessary rather than merely competent. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify the journal immediately if your work is placed elsewhere. Because the editorial staff turns over annually, patience is advised; response times can extend to several months. Include a brief, professional cover letter and adhere strictly to formatting requirements. Above all, read an issue before submitting to understand the aesthetic range the journal cultivates.
