Editor-in-Chief

Since its founding in 1956 at The University of Tulsa, Nimrod has shared with its readers exciting new writing from around the world. Nimrod is published twice a year. Each issue features a stimulating selection of poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction, including work in translation. Selections from Nimrod have been included in The Best American Short Stories, Best Stories from the South, New Voices in American Fiction, Best New Poets, Best American Poetry, and many other noted anthologies. From the very beginning, Nimrod attracted original work from renowned writers W. H. Auden, Mahmud Darwish, Natalie Diaz, Mark Doty, Rita Dove, S.E. Hinton, Sue Denise Levertov, Pablo Neruda, Alicia Ostriker, Linda Pastan, Octavio Paz, Isaac Bashevis Singer, William Stafford, and Mark Strand, among many others. Nimrod supports and defends the literary tradition of small magazines, spotlighting lesser-known poets and writers and providing foundations for their literary careers. We promote a living literature, believing that it is possible to search for, recognize, and reward contemporary writing of imagination, substance, and skill.

We prefer a brief, straightforward cover letter. Tell us who you are, what you're sending, and give a brief bio (about 60 words is great). Then let your work speak for itself.

We look for work that is both original and universal, work that contains something we haven't seen before but also taps into the aspects of human life and experience that we all share.

Read the magazine! It's what everyone says, but it really is the best advice we can give. Reading the magazine helps you get an idea of what we like, and helps you decide whether or not it will be worth your time to send to us.
