Application guidance

Before submitting, read several issues of Recommended Reading and the daily magazine to understand the range of work they publish. They favor stories with a strong voice, emotional resonance, and formal inventiveness. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify them immediately if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your publication history, if any, and proofread meticulously. Response times vary, so check their website for current reading periods and guidelines.
