Types of Submissions Accepted

3 genres

A general comment from the editor [coming soon]

fiction genre icon

Fiction

Max words: 7500

Note: While we accept up to 7,500 words, stories at the 4,000-5,000 word mark are more likely to be accepted than those that are longer, simply due to space constraints.

Flash rules

Max words: 1000

Also taking works of flash up to 1,000 words.

poetry genre icon

Poetry

Max pieces: 5

If you think your poems will make a perfect stranger's toes tingle, heart leap, or brain sizzle, then send it our way. We typically do not publish avant garde or language poetry and have a general aversion to unnecessarily exclusive work. We do like a poem that causes--for a wide audience--a visceral reaction to intellectually and emotionally rich material. If accepted, we will also request an audio recording, which is optional but highly encouraged.

review genre icon

Review

We occasionally review collections of poetry or short stories (usually no more than 1-2 per issue), which have been recently published or are forthcoming. To request consideration of your book for review, send one copy to Raleigh Review, Box 6725, Raleigh NC 27628. We will notify you if we do choose to review your book. Review copies will not be returned.
