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 We typically do not publish avant garde or language poetry and have a general aversion to unnecessarily exclusive work.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

Submission fee: $ 3

Payment: $ 15

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.

Additional info
All 100 percent of the poems and stories inside Raleigh Review currently comes in over the transom, as unsolicited. We select all new work from the submissions' queue. Meaning all writers and poets have a fair shake when sending work to us. The only exception to our current no solicit rule is we do have an illustrator for visual art and book reviewers on our team. We with Raleigh Review firmly hold high standards of ethics. We firmly believe in meritocratic principles while selecting the poems and prose that is sent to us via Submittable or Duosuma. All submissions are read by highly skilled readers and editors. We also welcome those incarcerated in the prison systems, the elderly and the disabled (mainly meant for those who cannot use Submission Systems) to send work to us via US Post.
