MQR reads submissions year round. Simultaneous submissions are not permitted. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, right margins not justified. Writers are advised to inspect a back copy of the Michigan Quarterly Review (available for $4.00) or our archives (available from our home page) before submitting work. Average turnaround time is six weeks.

Fiction and essay: 1,500 words minimum, 5,000 average, 7,000 maximum.

Poetry: Submission of more than one poem at a time is allowed. The total submission packet should not exceed 8-12 pages.

If a manuscript is accepted for publication, we will ask for an electronic version. Submissions by e-mail or fax cannot be accepted and will not be read.

A self-addressed, stamped envelope must be enclosed for the return of the manuscript or for any reply.
