New England Review, a longstanding literary magazine with a national reputation, invites submissions in all genres during its fall reading period. The journal seeks fiction, poetry, essays, translation, and work in craft and ceramics, reflecting a broad curatorial scope that values both literary and material practices. With a submission fee of $3.00, the review maintains a professional standard while remaining accessible to a wide range of contributors. The reading period runs from September 1 through November 1, but the editors may close early if submission caps are reached, making early entry advisable. For Fall 2026, poetry submissions will close on September 4 at 11:59 pm EST, a distinct deadline that poets must observe. The journal explicitly prohibits the use of generative AI in submitted work, requiring contributors to affirm that their writing, translation, and thinking are their own; spell-check and grammar-check tools are permitted. New England Review does not offer a prize or monetary award for publication, but it provides a reputable platform for creative work. The journal's curatorial vision emphasizes honest engagement with creative minds and a commitment to original, human-generated writing and translation. Submissions are accepted in fiction (short stories, short shorts, novellas, novel excerpts, and translations) with a word limit of 20,000, as well as in other genres as specified in the full guidelines.
