Submission Guidelines The North American Review is the oldest literary magazine in America (founded in 1815) and one of the most respected. We are interested in high-quality poetry, fiction, and nonfiction on any subject; however, we are especially interested in work that addresses contemporary North American concerns and issues, particularly with the environment, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and class.

We like stories that start quickly and have a strong narrative arc. Poems that are passionate about subject, language, and image are welcome, whether they are traditional or experimental, whether in formal or free verse (closed or open form). Nonfiction should combine art and fact with the finest writing.

Please address poetry to Poetry Editor, fiction to Fiction Editor, and nonfiction to Nonfiction Editor at:

North American Review University of Northern Iowa 1222 West 27th Street Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614-0516 USA

Submit only three to six poems, one short story, up to two short-short stories, or one article or essay. Don't send multiple submissions of the same genre; also wait to hear our decision on one submission before sending another. We read poetry, fiction, and nonfiction year-round. E-mail submissions are no longer accepted.

Please do not submit book reviews; send a query instead. Do not submit entire novels, collections of poems or stories, or nonfiction books.

We do not accept simultaneous submissions; these will be returned unread. We also do not consider previously published material or work currently in press elsewhere.

Submissions sent to us must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE). If you wish to decrease your postage cost, we can send back the first page with our decision and recycle the rest. If you are outside the US, please clip an International Reply Coupon to your submission for return postage on your SASE.

We try to report on submissions within three months, but we have a very small staff to read several thousand pieces annually. If you haven't heard in three months, feel free to inquire with an SASE.

We ask for first North American serial rights only. Copyright reverts to the author upon publication. The NAR pays $1 per line for poems or $5 per 350 words of prose (minimum payment for either genre is $20, maximum $100).

Please do not send disks; if we accept the work, we'll ask for a disk at that time or arrange for you to send the text to us electronically.

Be sure to keep a copy of work you send us. And do send us work you're proud of.

We hope you're already a reader. If you aren't, we invite you to subscribe at the special author's rate of $18 for one year, or send us $5.00 for a sample issue of the NAR.
