The Chattahoochee Review is
seeking poetry, fiction, and nonfiction for a special focus
issue on Irish Literature to be published in late 2012.
TCR welcomes
submissions of poetry, fiction, flash fiction, drama, and
nonfiction—work reflective of a complex and contemporary Ireland—with
preference given to poetry that makes careful use of voice and theme,
fiction with an
imaginative focus on character, and nonfiction that transcends the
strictly personal. Both established and new voices encouraged.
Writers outside of the U.S. may e-mail submissions to gpccr@gpc.edu
, noting the submission's genre and the Irish Lit issue in the subject box.
All submissions should state the author's name,
address, and email on the manuscript and should be accompanied by a
short biographical statement. Submissions will be accepted until October
1, 2012, or until issue is filled.
We are also considering regular submissions; see below.

FICTION
TCR publishes high quality literary
fiction characterized by interest in language, development of
distinctive settings, compelling conflict, and complex, unique
characters. Please read a sample copy. Fiction should be double-spaced
with numbered pages and one-inch margins. Submit only one story
or up to three short-shorts (500-1,000 words each) per envelope. We consider longer stories of up to 6,000 words and novellas.
POETRY
TCR publishes excellent poetry of all
types, including informal personal narratives, prose poems, and formal
poems. We consider English translations of poetry from other languages,
in which case a brief biography of the poet and translator should be
included. Poetry should be single-spaced and include three to five
poems per submission.
NONFICTION
TCR publishes distinctive topical
essays and personal creative nonfiction of any kind; this includes
pieces that might fit into the memoir, travel, and historical
nonfiction categories. We are not an academic journal and publish for a
general readership. Above all, we are interested in publishing
nonfiction that surprises and intrigues us.
INTERVIEWS
TCR publishes interviews with writers
of all kinds: literary, academic, journalistic, and popular. Recent
interviews have featured Tony Grooms, Wells Tower, Larry Brown, Claude
Wilkinson, Ferreira Gullar, and Kunal Basu. Please query us (by snail
mail) with a proposal for a particular interview.
REVIEWS AND REVIEW ESSAYS
TCR publishes reviews of current
fiction, poetry, and nonfiction books, especially those from writers
with an innovative approach to subject matter. Several related works
may be reviewed at more length in a review essay that engages critical
issues not appropriate to a single review. We are always in search of
new reviewers. Please query us (by snail mail) about the possibility of
a particular review or review essay, specifying your credentials for
the review.
VISUAL ART
TCR accepts visual art submissions, photography included, by invitation only.
PAYMENT
We typically pay $50/poem and $25/page for prose. Payment for reviews,
interviews, plays, and art is determined on an individual basis. All
contributors receive two copies.
