CRWROPPS Post: Naugatuck River Review open for submissions

Subject: Naugatuck River Review open for submissions

Naugatuck River Review is open for submissions of narrative poetry from January 2 - March 15, 2020. 

Here are our general guidelines:

We accept ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS ONLY through Submittable at https://naugatuckriver.submittable.com/submit

There are two submission periods for NRR - Open submissions are Jan. 1 - March 15 for the summer/fall issue. Contest submissions are open July 1- Sept. 1.

Please submit no more than 3 unpublished NARRATIVE poems (for our definition of narrative poetry, see below). Submit your best work if you wish to win the contest. Please, no more than 50 lines per poem in ONE MSWord file, Times New Roman or Callibri 11 preferred (.doc or .docx preferred, pdf if complicated formatting only). Please remove your name from your uploaded file, as the poetry is read blind by our editorial staff. DO NOT use fancy formats, bold or imbedded formatting unless your poem is in complicated formatting, in which case go ahead and submit in in a pdf. 

Questions ONLY: Feel free to email us at naugatuckriver@aol.com. During the open submission period there is no fee.

All poems will be considered for publication. 

Simultaneous submissions are fine as long as you let us know right away if your poem has been picked up by another publication. We claim first North American publication rights, so rights revert to the author after the initial publication period, just please give us credit.  We will only consider work that has not been previously published.  Member CLMP.
