About the journal
The Georgia Review is produced with the greatest care: we offer a well-designed format, printing on book-quality stock, and durable perfect binding of each issue’s +/-200 pages.
The best way to become acquainted with any publication is to read its recent issues. We invite you to enjoy and study our pages at your library or—even better—to subscribe yourself ($35 per year for four issues—with single copies available for $15 and sample back issues for $10).
Past contributors include veteran writers Lee K. Abbott, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Rita Dove, Stephen Dunn, Louise Erdrich, Albert Goldbarth, Susan Gubar, Mary Hood, Greg Johnson, Judith Kitchen, Maxine Kumin, Philip Levine, Barry Lopez, Joyce Carol Oates, Linda Pastan, Pattiann Rogers, Reg Saner, George Singleton, Natasha Trethewey, Brian Turner, David Wagoner, Daniel Wallace, Gerald Weales, Robert Wrigley, and Paul Zimmer—as well as new voices such as Todd Boss, Elea Carey, Jeremy Collins, Michael Donohue, Rene Houtrides, Laura Sewell Matter, and LaWanda Walters.
Essays: We are seeking informed essays that attempt to place their subjects against a broad perspective. For the most part we are not interested in scholarly articles that are narrow in focus and/or overly burdened with footnotes. The ideal essay for The Georgia Review is a provocative, thesis-oriented work that can engage both the intelligent general reader and the specialist.
Poetry & Fiction: We seek the best work we can find, whether by Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize–winners or by little-known (even previously unpublished) writers. All manuscripts receive serious, careful attention; we try to respond within two or three months, but sometimes the ebb and flow of manuscripts causes delays. We have published stories ranging in length from less than one of our pages to more than sixty, and we have run poems of fewer than ten lines and more than one thousand. Ordinarily we do not publish novel excerpts or works translated into English, and we strongly discourage authors from submitting these.
Book Reviews: In most cases, selection of titles to be reviewed and assignments to specific reviewers are made by the editors, so unsolicited reviews should not be submitted without a prior query. However, we are quite willing to entertain proposals from reviewers concerning assignments they might like to undertake. (Separate, more detailed guidelines for book reviewing )
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS:
1. Every submission to The Georgia Review should be accompanied by a postage-paid and self-addressed return envelope. Work previously published in any form or submitted simultaneously to other journals will not be considered. Submissions should be limited (except under unusual circumstances) to one story or one essay or three to five poems. All prose manuscripts should be double spaced. We do not accept submissions via fax or e-mail. If a submission is known to be included in a book already accepted by a publisher, please notify us of this fact (and of the anticipated date of book publication) in a cover letter.
2. Scholarly documentation, if appropriate, should adhere to the format outlined in the MLA Stylesheet (2nd edition).
3. The Georgia Review does not consider book manuscripts. Please direct all such works or queries about them to The University of Georgia Press, 330 Research Drive, Athens, GA 30602.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The Georgia Review pays all contributors; the current standard rates are $50 per printed page for prose and $4 per line for poetry.
2. We try to avoid having an extended backlog of accepted works awaiting publication; if accepted, your work would almost always be printed within a year—and usually sooner.
3. We are capable of printing high-quality illustrations to accompany essays.
4. The Georgia Review buys first North American serial rights only. All other rights revert to the author at publication, but we offer formal, written reassignments upon request. We ask that whenever an author reprints work that first appeared in our pages, The Georgia Review be given acknowledgment for the specific work(s) involved.
Instructions to Authors
Guidelines For Submission
Manuscripts cannot be considered by The Georgia Review from May 15 to August 15. Submissions received during that period will be returned unread.
What are we looking for?
Nonfiction: We are seeking creative personal essays and informed, thesis-oriented essays that view their subjects against a broad perspective--provocative work that can engage both the intelligent general reader and the specialist. For the most part we are not interested in scholarly articles.
Poetry & Fiction: We seek the very best work whether by Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners or by little-known (or even previously unpublished) writers. All manuscripts receive serious, careful attention; we try to respond within three to five months, but sometimes the ebb and flow of manuscripts causes delays. Ordinarily we do not publish novel excerpts or works translated into English, and we strongly discourage authors from submitting these. In recent years we have been able to accept less than one-half of one percent of the poetry and fiction manuscripts received.
Book Reviews: In most cases, selection of titles to be reviewed and assignments to specific reviewers are made by the editors, so unsolicited reviews should not be submitted without a prior query. However, we are willing to entertain proposals from reviewers concerning assignments. (Separate, more detailed guidelines for book reviewing are available upon request.)
Art: We publish reproductions (color or black and white) of a wide range of art: paintings, photography, prints, sculpture, and more. Usually we feature one image on the cover plus an interior "portfolio" of 8 additional works, and our editorial preference is for groupings that display an engaging variety within some overall thematic unity. Submissions should include approximately twenty high-quality, original slides, transparencies, sharp, glossy, 5" x 7" photographs, or JPEGs of 300 dpi, 5" x 7".
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS:
- Every query or submission to The Georgia Review must be accompanied by a postage-paid and self-addressed return envelope. Work previously published in any form or submitted simultaneously to other journals will not be considered. Submissions should be limited (except under unusual circumstances) to one story or one essay or three to five poems.
- If a submission is known to be included in a book already accepted by a publisher, please notify us of this fact (and of the anticipated date of book publication) in a cover letter.
- Unsolicited manuscripts will not be considered from 15 May through 15 August; all such submissions will be returned unread. (Our offices are open year round, but our staff is small and needs the summer months to complete evaluations of the manuscripts already received.)
- Scholarly documentation, if appropriate, should adhere to the format outlined in the MLA Stylesheet (2nd edition).
- The Georgia Review does not consider book manuscripts.
- We will not consider submissions sent via e-mail or fax.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
The Georgia Review pays all contributors; the current standard rates are $40 per printed page for prose and $3 per line for poetry. We purchase only the first serial rights; the author controls all other rights.
GUIDELINES FOR BOOK REVIEWERS
We firmly believe that the book reviews we publish in The Georgia Review should be just as engaging, and just as well written, as the essays, stories and poems with which they appear.
Although we are not categorically opposed to considering unsolicited reviews, we prefer in most cases to assign specific books to specific reviewers. (Assignment does not, of course, guarantee publication; all reviewing is done on speculation.) If at any time you have a title in mind for review, write to us with a brief description of the book and your reasons for wanting to write about it. We will answer all such queries as soon as possible.
Unless there are compelling reasons (such as an older book's clear relevance to more recent publications or events), we do not ordinarily assign a book for review after it has been in print more than one year.
For everyone's best interest, we do all we can to avoid printing reviews that could in any way be viewed as nonprofessionally motivated. If we offer you a book by a friend or enemy, or by a writer about whom you hold such a strong opinion (positive or negative) that you feel you could not give a fair reading to the new work, please let us know.
We ask that all reviews combine descriptive and evaluative comments in an integrated whole. Our length restrictions may strike some as overly confining, but they have been established because we need to review more books in our pages and because we believe that concise reviews will better serve our readers. The editors, after considering the scope of the book(s) to be reviewed and the current backlog of reviews accepted and/or commissioned, will make assignments in one of the following categories:
1) The Titled Essay-Review: Almost always a discussion of more than one book, the essay-review develops a thesis that not only links the books under consideration but also reaches out to comment on literature and/or culture beyond the texts at hand. The thesis must feel earned and natural rather than contrived. Length: 2-4 double-spaced, typewritten pages per book reviewed.
2) The Standard Review: Usually focuses on a single book; references outward to other works, whether by the same author or others, are welcome but not necessary. Length: 3-5 double-spaced, typewritten pages.
3) The Book Brief: Tries to achieve the same ends as the standard review, but in a format whose maximum length is two double-spaced, typewritten pages.
Payment: Essay-reviews and standard reviews earn honoraria of $40.00/printed page; book briefs carry a fixed honorarium of $50.00. In addition, all contributors receive a one-year subscription to The Georgia Review, an extra copy of the issue in which their work appears, and a 50% discount on additional copies of that issue. Subscriptions begin upon acceptance; honoraria are paid upon publication.
Manuscript Format Considerations:
1) All manuscripts must be double spaced in twelve- or thirteen-point type, and printed on only one side of the paper. Pages should be numbered.
2) All reviews should be headed by the bibliographical information standard to our past issues, which should be consulted. (For essay-reviews, list books in the order of their discussion.) Here are some sample entries:
Graveyard of the Atlantic. By Alyson Hagy. St. Paul, MN: Graywolf Press, 2000. xviii, 186 pp. $14.00, paper.
Nightworks: Poems, 1962-2000. By Marvin Bell. Port Townsend, WA: Copper Canyon Press, 2000. xiv, 284 pp. $28.00.
The Best American Essays of the Century. Edited by Joyce Carol Oates and Robert Atwan. New York: Moughton Mifflin, 2000. xxviii, 596 pp. $30.00.
3) Please provide page references for all quotations, placing the page numbers in parenthesis following the quotes. We do not print these references in the finished piece, but they are invaluable to us for copy-editing and proofreading purposes. If at all possible, include with your manuscript photocopies of all the book pages from which you have quoted; we are sometimes able to locate copies of the books for editorial checking purposes, but not always, so these photocopies will help us assure that you have used an entirely accurate set of quotations.
4) We never run footnotes in book briefs, and we rarely run them for standard reviews or essay-reviews. If a footnote seems crucial, do your best to incorporate the relevant information into the body of the text. If you cannot do this, enter a footnote and we will decide how best to handle each given situation.
5) Do not staple manuscript pages.
