SPLIT ROCK REVIEW SUBMISSION HUB

We invite submissions for Issue 23 from June 1  to August 1. 

We publish poetry, short creative nonfiction and fiction, comics, graphic narratives, visual poetry, photography, and art that explore place, environment, and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. 

We are looking for work that grapples with land, water, climate, extraction, conservation, stewardship, displacement, belonging, and the layered histories embedded in landscapes. 

GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• We only accept submissions via Submittable. Submissions sent via email will not be considered.
• We offer 100 free submissions during each reading period, as well as GENERAL, TIP JAR, and EXPEDITED submission options for a nominal fee.
• We are particularly interested in work by writers and artists historically underrepresented in literary publishing, including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color; LGBTQIA+ and gender-nonconforming creators; disabled writers and artists; women; and other marginalized communities.
• We accept simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw it immediately through Submittable. If withdrawing only part of a submission, leave a comment specifying which pieces should be removed.
• We do not accept works of translation or previously published work, including work published on personal blogs, websites, or social media.
• We do not consider manuscript revisions during the reading period.
• Collaborative works are welcome. Please include the names of all collaborators in your submission.
• Previous contributors should wait one year from the publication date of their work before submitting again.
• Upon acceptance, contributors grant Split Rock Review First Electronic Rights and Archival Rights. Rights revert to the author after publication, though we ask that Split Rock Review be acknowledged as the place of initial publication.
• While we are unfortunately unable to offer payment at this time, we actively promote our contributors through features such as our Contributor Spotlight Series and Photic Zone Interview Series.
