Skip to Main Content Home View Your Submissions Chicago Review Given the great volume of submissions that we receive each year, please know that the process of reading and responding to them all can be long. We are committed to getting back to you, but we ask for your patience, and that you please do not contact us regarding the status of submissions . If you need to withdraw a submission, or a partial submission, the best way to do so is through Submittable. To withdraw partial submissions, please just add a note to your file indicating which piece is being withdrawn. Do not submit previously rejected submissions. Submissions are closed during the summer, and will reopen on October 1. Due to administrative costs, we need to charge a small fee for submissions. We have tried to make this fee comparable to what it would have cost to send paper submissions. Poetry $3.50 $3.50 More Submit to Poetry Simultaneous submissions are allowed but discouraged. While there are no strict length requirements, the poetry editors prefer to read at least 3 pages of work. Please include a cover letter.
