Washington Square Review

Submitting your work

Writers should submit polished work that demonstrates a strong command of language and a unique perspective. The journal welcomes submissions in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. It is recommended to read recent issues to understand the editorial range. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if work is taken elsewhere. Submissions are typically open during specific reading periods, so check the website for guidelines and deadlines. Given the journal's academic ties, work that engages with contemporary literary conversations is often favored, but above all, clarity and originality are valued.
