The Editors of The Claremont Review are looking to publish first class poetry, short stories and short plays by young adult writers (aged 13-19) anywhere in the English speaking world.
What Do We Publish?
We publish anything from traditional to post modern, but with a preference for works that reveal something of the human condition. By this we mean stories that explore real characters in modern settings. Who are we, what are we doing to the planet, what is our relationship to one another, the earth, or God. Also, reading samples on this website or from past issues will give you a clearer indication of what we are looking for.
What We Do NOT Publish:
- Science Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, most rhyming poetry.
- Your first draft of anything.
- Previously published work.
How Do I Submit?
- Each submission should include a cover page, which should include the following:
- Your name, complete address (including postal or zip code) your telephone number and e-mail address.
- Where you attend school.
- A short biography of yourself.
- Where you found out about The Claremont Review.
- All work submitted should be neatly typed and carefully edited, with the name of the author at the top of each page. We allow up to 6 items in each submission.
- Fiction (no more than 5000 words) should be double-spaced and poems should be on separate pages.
- All submissions must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE), or they cannot be returned.
- Submissions from outside Canada must include either an International Reply Coupon or Canadian stamps. PLEASE DO NOT PUT AMERICAN POSTAGE ON YOUR SASE - American postage is not valid in Canada. If you cannot purchase an IRC from your local post office, please contact this link to the USPS website, or e-mail me at lmoran@telus.net for further instructions.
- Response to your work will be given in 4 to 8 weeks, not including the months of July and August.
What is My Reward?
Contributors who have their poetry, fiction and art work/photography published within The Claremont Review will receive $10.00 per magazine page, and $50.00 if their art work appears on the cover, plus one perfect bound copy of the magazine. Your biggest reward will be that you have become a published writer! All general submissions will receive a personal response.
