Star 82 Review

Submitting your work

Before submitting, read several back issues to understand the journal's aesthetic, which favors concise, image-rich, and often playful or contemplative work. Star 82 Review accepts poetry, flash fiction, and visual art, including hybrid forms. Submissions are typically open year-round, but check the website for specific reading periods. Send up to five poems or three prose pieces (under 500 words each) and up to five images. Include a brief bio and note any prior publications. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify immediately if work is placed elsewhere. The journal values careful proofreading and a clear sense of how text and image might interact on the page. Response times vary, so patience is appreciated.

Please see the submissions page for submissions email. Paste work into body of email. NO attachments. When submitting, please include a print-ready fifty to seventy-five word bio that contains what you do, three publications max, if applicable (no long lists!), no award nominations, your geographical location, website, and one outside area of interest. Cover letters are nice, but not necessary. 12-point standard typeface, pasted into the body of the email. Written works under 750 words only (shorter works much preferred!). Artwork tells a story or creates a mood, leaving space for the viewer (landscapes, animals, and/or objects are suggested). Themes not accepted: violence, denigration or hate, partisan politics, horror, sexual situations.
