New Ohio Review is a literary magazine with a national presence, publishing poetry that values craft, clarity, and emotional resonance. The journal has a history of featuring both emerging and established voices, and its editorial vision is rooted in a commitment to the written word's capacity for precision and surprise. The Fall 2026 reading period offers poets an opportunity to place work in a magazine known for its discerning taste and broad readership. The submission guidelines are straightforward: up to six pages of poetry, each typed poem on a new page, single- or double-spaced, and submitted as a .doc or .docx file. Cross-genre and unusually formatted work is welcome, though the journal's page width and font size are restricted, so poets should consider how their work will translate to the printed page. The $12 submission fee includes a copy of a recent back issue, providing contributors with a tangible sense of the journal's aesthetic and production values. For submitters outside the U.S., a PDF of the issue is provided instead. One submission per reading period is permitted unless the editors request more or the submitter is a subscriber. This policy encourages thoughtful, curated submissions rather than a scattershot approach. The journal's editorial team reads with attention to voice, imagery, and structure, seeking poems that reward re-reading and that contribute to the ongoing conversation of contemporary poetry.
