Additional info
We accept submissions for the print journal generally during three time periods: September, December, and May. Those reading periods will open on the first day of the month and close once we hit the submissions cap for that period. miCRo submissions are open nearly year-round, except while we’re accepting entries for the Robert and Adele Schiff Awards during the early summer, or if we experience a backlog in that category. We pay $25/page for prose and $30/page for poetry in the print journal and $25 for miCRo posts or special features. We nominate for Best New Poets and Pushcart.
