Northwest Review

Submitting your work

Northwest Review welcomes unsolicited submissions of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Reading periods are typically announced on the journal’s website and social media; simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Editors appreciate cover letters that are brief and professional, and they value writing that reveals a clear understanding of the journal’s history and aesthetic. Before submitting, read at least one recent issue to gauge the range of work the review publishes. Allow three to six months for a response, and avoid querying before that window has passed.
