Submissions

Magazine Submission Guidelines

We read between September 1st and March 15th only. We do our best to respond within 3 months of your submission, though that is only a guideline. Work that comes in at other times will be returned unread.

If your work is published, Georgetown Review acquires first North American rights, which means that after we publish the piece the rights to it revert back to you.

There are no length guidelines on essays, short stories, or novel excerpts. However, please limit poetry submissions to 20 pages. In all cases, please do not submit new work until you hear from us.

There are no particular guidelines on style, content, or form; we are looking for the best work we can find. Manuscripts are not accepted via email. Please use the following address:

2011 Georgetown Review Contest

$1,000 and publication to the winning short story, poem, or essay on any theme or subject. All genres welcome.

Submissions must be postmarked by on or before October 1, 2010.

Entry fee is $10 for the first entry, $5 for each entry thereafter. One poem, story, or essay counts as one entry. Please make out checks or money orders to "Georgetown Review."

If you want your work returned or want to receive a notice about the winner and runners-up, you must send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope. However, we will post a list of the work we choose on our website after the contest is judged, and we will do our best to have this list up by February 2011.

The magazine’s editors will judge.

Simultaneous and multiple submissions are okay. Your name can appear on your work as well, and in fact, we prefer that your name, address and email address appear on your entries. We have a small editorial staff and would not award the prize to any colleagues, students, or friends. You do not need a cover sheet.

All entries are considered for publication. In the 2010 contest, 16 runner-up works were selected for publication. If your work is published, Georgetown Review acquires first North American rights, which means that after we publish the piece the rights to it revert back to you.
