Additional info

What we like We publish writing that leans toward the unconventional, surprising, and risky. We appreciate experiments in form and content, and prefer works whose meanings deepen on repeated readings. We don't usually accept genre fiction unless it's got something special. Please send only one submission per reading period, in one genre only. If you have previously contributed to the Sierra Nevada Review, please wait one reading session to submit again.
