Glacial Hills Review is seeking literary nonfiction, reviews, scholarly essays, poetry, and art. The deadline for submissions is May 26. There is no fee to submit unless you want to be considered for one of our annual contests in nonfiction, poetry, and art.
For creative nonfiction, we want to see creative personal stories that reflect your own personal experiences in such a way that they provoke understanding in discerning readers. To that end, images much be specific, so that readers can feel they saw, felt, heard, witnessed what you saw, felt, heard, and witnessed. We also accept scholarly essays–from standard forms of literary analysis or persuasive argument to annotated bibliography essays that isolate a particular focused angle of research. No matter which type of essay you choose to submit, limit your work count to less than 15,000 words.
For poetry, we are looking for poems that display the writer’s natural voice and that are as well written as prose. We like poems that contain strong imagery and that often play with metaphor although we are not limited to these things because even poems containing a narrative will work for us. Poems in either an organic form (aka free verse) or a traditional form are acceptable. Send us your best. Limit your submission to three poems, with no one poem more than fifty lines in length.
Submit your poetry and nonfiction via email to [email protected]. Attach your manuscript in doc, docx, or rtf.
