NORTH CENTRAL REVIEW

North Central College, CM #235, 30 N. Brainard St., Naperville IL 60540. (630)637-5291. E-mail: [email protected]. Website: http://orgs.noctrl.edu/review. Contact: Heather M. Placko, editor; Kelly Noel Rasmussen, editor. North Central Review, published semiannually, considers work in all literary genres, including occasional interviews, from undergraduate writers globally. The journal’s goal is for college-level, emerging creative writers to share their work publicly and create a conversation with each other. All styles and forms are welcome as submissions. The readers tend to value attention to form (but not necessarily fixed form), voice, and detail. Very long poems or sequences (running more than 4 or 5 pages) may require particular excellence because of the journal’s space and budget constraints. Does not want overly sentimental language and hackneyed imagery. These are all-too-common weaknesses that readers see in submissions; recommends revision and polishing before sending work. Considers poetry by teens (undergraduate writers only). Acquires first rights. Publishes ms 1-4 months after acceptance. Responds in 1-4 months. Guidelines for SASE, by e-mail, online and in magazine.

North Central Review is 120 pages, digest-sized, perfect-bound, with cardstock cover with 4-color design. Press run is about 750, distributed free to contributors and publication reception attendees. Single copy: $5; subscription: $10. Make checks payable to North Central College.

MAGAZINES NEEDS Accepts e-mail submissions (as Word attachments only); no fax submissions. Cover letter is preferred. Include name, postal address, phone number, and e-mail address (.edu address as proof of student status). If necessary (i.e., .edu address not available), include a photocopy of student ID with number marked out as proof of undergraduate status. Reads submissions September-March, with deadlines in February and October. Poems are circulated to an editorial board. All submissions are read by at least 3 staff members, including an editor. Rarely comments on rejected poems. No line limit. Pays 2 contributor’s copies.

TIPS “Don’t send anything you just finished moments ago—rethink, revise, and polish. Avoid sentimentalitity and abstraction. That said, the North Central Review publishes beginners, so don’t hesitate to submit and, if rejected, submit again.”
