In 1915, UVa president Edwin A. Alderman declared publicly that he was seeking to create a university publication that could be "an organ of liberal opinion...solidly based, thoughtfully and wisely managed and controlled, not seeking to give news, but to become a great serious publication wherein shall be reflected the calm thought of the best men." Alderman appealed for financial support from friends of the university, and over the next nine years raised an endowment and assembled a vision for the publication. It was in the fall of 1924 when he announced the establishment of The Virginia Quarterly Review, saying that it would provide "independent thought in the fields of society, politics, and literature...in no sense a local or sectional publication...[but inviting] as contributors to its pages men and women everywhere who think through things and have some quality of expressing their thoughts in appealing and arresting fashion." The inaugural issue was the Spring 1925 issue, featuring writing by dozens of writers, many southern, including Pulitzer Prize winner Senator William Cabell Bruce and Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello. It was 170 pages in length, and sold for $0.75. A subscription was $3.00. (Or $9.25/issue and $37/year in today's dollars.) For three quarters of a century, VQR's primary mission has been to sustain and strengthen Jefferson's bulwark, long describing itself as "A National Journal of Literature and Discussion." And for good reason. From its inception in prohibition, through depression and war, in prosperity and peace, the Virginia Quarterly Review has been a haven—and home—for the best essayists, fiction writers, and poets, seeking contributors from every section of the United States and abroad. It has not limited itself to any special field. No topic has been alien: literary, public affairs, the arts, history, the economy. If it could be approached through essay or discussion, poetry or prose, VQR has covered it. Each issue has contained work both moving and memorable; each has sought to provide the best that contemporary literature can offer. VQR's distinguished history has included: essays from H.L. Mencken, Allen Tate, Bertrand Russell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Ashmore, C. Vann Woodward, Cleanth Brooks, Dumas Malone, and Louis D. Rubin, Jr.; stories from Thomas Wolfe, Katherine Anne Porter, Peter Taylor, Ward Just, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Olen Butler, Mark Harris, and Ann Beattie; poems from the likes of Robert Penn Warren, Robert Frost, Conrad Aiken, Marianne Moore, Randall Jarrell, James Dickey, Henry Taylor, and Rita Dove. And VQR has not only published the most celebrated names of contemporary writing; equally it has welcomed writers whose names were unknown until they appeared in its pages. VQR hews to one simple standard in its selection of writers: excellence. VQR has thus made good its purpose of becoming a national publication of popularity and prestige, of independence and integrity. Readable and responsible, it is also entertaining. Though fresh as tomorrow's newspaper, each issue—read cover to cover upon publication—will still have value a decade later. Instructions to Authors Submission System Introduction Welcome to VQR's online submission system. This simple, web-based program makes it fast and easy to submit work to VQR and to check on the status of your submissions at any time. VQR’s decisions are dispatched to you by e-mail, ensuring that you know our decision as soon as we do. Please read the guidelines below to proceed to the submission form. Submissions Temporarily Closed for Poetry & Nonfiction Because of a backlog in accepted work in poetry and nonfiction, VQR has closed submissions temporarily, beginning on January 2, 2009. We’ve accepted a year’s worth of poems and essays, and it’s just not fair to writers for us to continue soliciting work in those genres. We’ll begin accepting poetry and nonfiction again when our regular reading period begins again on September 1, 2009. Please note that fiction is unaffected; stories can still be submitted through May 29, 2009. Submission System Guidelines Editorial Philosophy VQR strives to publish the freshest, most accomplished writers of our time. We are partial to work that is conscious of language without being self-conscious, that pulls readers in with drama and emotional risk, rather than holding them at arm's length with gimmickry and tricks. In short, we seek writing that uses intensely focused language to affect the way that readers see the world. A well-crafted poem, story, or essay is, at its heart, a statement of refusal to accept conventional wisdom and instead study the world for oneself. We seek that writing which illuminates what we, as a culture, may learn from such close inspection. Genres Poetry: All types and length. Short Fiction: Length is from 2,000?,000 words. We are generally not interested in genre fiction (such as romance, science fiction or fantasy) unless it's of a high literary quality. Nonfiction: Length is 5,000?0,000 words. We publish literary, art, and cultural criticism; reportage; historical and political analysis; and travel essays. We rarely publish author interviews. General Guidelines We only consider unpublished work. Please do not submit previously published material, including work published in anthologies, chapbooks, or online. We only accept submissions via our website using our online form. We're sorry, but due to the volume of submissions we receive, we no longer accept unsolicited submissions via mail and we do not accept submissions via email. Please read some past issues of VQR before submitting your work so you have a clear sense of our editorial focus. A portion of every issue is freely available on this site. Or you can purchase a recent issue at your local newsstand or bookstore, or direct from us. Also, we have a limited number of sample back issues available for $7.00 (postage included, please allow 3? weeks for delivery; foreign orders: $18 USD postage paid). Submissions are limited to one prose piece and five poems every six months. Due to the large number of submissions we receive, we have to place a limit on submission of new work until 6 months after your last submission (regardless of whether we've made a decision on your most recently submitted work). If a work is still under review, you may withdraw it and submit new work, up to the limits already mentioned. Our reading period is from September 1 through May 31. Any submissions received between 6/1 through 8/31 will be returned without being reviewed. We prefer no simultaneous submissions, please. If work you have submitted to us is accepted elsewhere, please notify us immediately. Submissions are usually reviewed within three months, but due to the large number we receive, responses may occasionally be delayed for longer than three months. Please be patient with us; we receive over a thousand submissions a month and have a small staff. Responses will be provided by e-mail. Sorry, but due to the high volume of submissions, we can't respond personally to every submission. Guidelines for Submitting Online All files must be saved in Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or Plain Text (.txt) formats. Our system cannot handle other file formats. If you have questions on how to save your document, please consult the Help section of your word processing software. Please upload only one work per file ?even batches of poetry should be submitted one poem per file. For example, if you are submitting five poems, do not submit one file containing five poems. Instead, create one file for each poem and submit them individually. If there is more than one work per file, we will review only the first work in the file. Please set up your submission in letter-sized format, with ample margins, double-spaced, using a standard typeface (e.g., Times, Helvetica, Arial) and font size (12 point is best). Please use minimal document and font styling in your submission. Payment & Copyright For poetry, we pay $5/line, with a minimum payment of $200 for all work published in an issue. For prose, we pay $100 per typeset page (approximately 20?word). Work that is published only on our website is paid at a lower rate. Our standard publishing agreement asks for the following rights in exchange: first North American print rights; nonexclusive online rights; and a few other limited rights. Copyright is retained by the author at all times and authors are free to resell the work, though we do ask for a 90-day exclusive from our first publication of the work.
