Skip to Main Content Home View Your Submissions The Florida Review The Florida Review welcomes submissions. Please submit no more than one piece of fiction, nonfiction, graphic narrative, review, or digital story at a time. Poets and visual artists may submit up to (but no more than) five poems or artworks as a single submission. Please look carefully at all of our submissions categories, as they are numerous. Make sure to choose the one you intend--whether it be for one of our contests, for the print Florida Review, or for Aquifer: The Florida Review Online. Submit your manuscript and cover letter using the appropriate link. (You will also find genre-specific guidelines in each link.) We strive to respond in 3 to 6 months, though sometimes it takes us 8 months. Please note that your work will be considered in the genre to which it's submitted. Submissions in our general categories will NOT be considered as contest submissions, even if the contest is referenced in your cover letter. We are happy to announce that, starting in 2017, we will be awarding modest annual prizes to one non-contest-winner "staff pick" author in each of the following categories: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic narrative, and digital story. These will be modest awards of $50.00 each, but we hope they will show our good faith toward all those who submit to The Florida Review and Aquifer. We are a struggling nonprofit organization, but we know how hard our writers work, and we want you to have the possibility of payment. For more information about submissions, please see our website . We no longer accept general submissions via USPS mail. (We will, however, continue to accept visual art, chapbook, and contest submissions via USPS mail, as well as from those without internet access, such as prisoners.) You may add a subscription at the time of your submission at a special submitter discount price.

Artists may submit up to four works for consideration. We ask your understanding that we often hold onto visual art submissions for quite some time. Because we only print two issues and one chapbook a year in print--and because the moods and themes of these are often determined by the content--we like to keep even older submissions on hand in case there's a match. We don't mean to keep anyone hanging, and we understand that you will be submitting your work elsewhere as well. If you don't want us to continue to hold onto your submission, please withdraw it. And please know that eventually you will hear from us. Please note that you will be given the opportunity to "add on" a subscription to this submission. You will receive a discounted submitter rate of $18.00 for a 1-year subscription).
