Quarterly West

Quarterly West

Quarterly West will open for regular submissions of poetry and prose starting March 15th. To ensure that every submission receives the time and attention it deserves, prose submissions will remain open until we hit a cap of 500 submissions; poetry submissions will remain open until we hit a cap of 600 submissions.

Because we will be capping submissions, please do not submit more than one entry per genre at a time—additional submissions will be declined unread.

Our contests in poetry and prose open on October 1st. Our prose contest will remain open until we hit a cap of 500 submissions; our poetry contest will remain open for submission through November 1st. We are open to submissions of new media, translations, and book reviews year round.

We open regularly for Special Features. Keep us in mind for upcoming features on Extreme Environments and Time Machines.

We will open to chapbook submissions in summer and poetry and prose contest submissions in the fall.
