Written Submissions
The editors of the Claremont Review publish first-class poetry, short stories and short plays by young adult writers, aged 13-19, from anywhere in the English speaking world.
What do we publish?
We publish work that range from traditional to modern format, but with a preference for works that reveal something of the human condition and that explore real characters. Reading samples on this website or from past issues will give you a clearer indication of what we accept.
Submission Guidelines
1. Each submission package should include a cover page with the following:
• Your full name and age
• A complete mailing address
• A current email address
• Where you attend school
• A couple sentences about yourself
• How you discovered our publication
2. All work submitted must be carefully edited. We do not accept first drafts.
3. All work must be typed, single-sided, with the name of the author at the top of each page.
We allow up to 6 items in each submission.
4. Fiction must be no more than 5000 words and should be double-spaced.
5. Poems should be on separate pages and formatted as you’d like it to appear.
6. Submissions must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE). If you live outside of Canada, please do not put the postage of your country on the envelope. If you live in the USA please include $1.00 and if you live outside the USA please include $2.00. This allows us to put the Canadian postage on your SASE.
If you choose not to include a SASE you will not hear back from the editors unless your submission is chosen for publication
Editors will respond to your work (if you’ve included a SASE) within 10-12 weeks, not including the months of July and August.
