rejected immediately). We read flash fiction. We're looking for well
crafted fiction that demonstrates respect for and love of language.
Fiction that makes us feel and think, that edifies without being
didactic or self-indulgent, and ultimately connects us to our sense of
humanity.
Submit 1 piece per submission of no more than 7,000 words. We're interested in creative non fiction, excerpts from memoirs, and inter genre pieces. SR does not publish academic essays or reviews. We lean towards nonfiction that approaches any topic from a unique perspective and can deliver to readers fresh insights. We do not want informational prose, but rather penetrating, literary writing that informs.
Submit from 3 to 5 poems per submission, but no longer than 10 pages maximum. We're open to most forms and styles. We want poetry that, to paraphrase Dickinson, blows the top of your head off and that, in Williams' view, prevents us from dying miserably every day.
****To withdraw poem(s) from the submission and not the whole submission, please add a note to your submission listing the poems that are withdrawn.****
