Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Send submissions to:
Editors
Southern Humanities Review 9088 Haley Center Auburn University, AL 36849-5202
General
Always include a self-addressed stamped envelope, or a self-addressed envelope with international reply coupons, even for a reply only. Queries are welcome. Simultaneous submissions are NOT accepted. Email submissions are NOT accepted. Submit poetry, fiction, and essays separately, as different editors will consider them. Do not submit a second manuscript if we already have one from you under consideration. With the exception of translations, we do not consider material that has been published elsewhere. In prose submissions use one-inch margins and double line spacing. Prepare manuscripts using the MLA Handbook. Use at least a 10-pt. font. If you use an ink printer, make sure the print is dark. Payment is two contributors' copies; copyright reverts to author upon publication. Response time usually varies from two weeks to three months, depending on the editors' other responsibilities, but might be a bit slower in summer.
Please do not assume from our name that we're interested in Southern literature or research topics only; any setting or subject matter is acceptable, but do avoid excessive vulgarity, profanity, and jargon (medical or military, for example).
Poetry
Send three to five poems at a time. It is wise to submit no more than four times per year unless the editors ask to see more of your work. We rarely print a poem longer than two pages. Translations are encouraged, but please include the original AND written permission from the copyright holder for you to publish a translation.
Fiction
Send only one story per submission. Manuscripts should be between 3,500 and 15,000 words, double-spaced. It is wise to submit no more than four times per year unless the editors ask to see more of your work.

Essays
Send only one essay per submission. Manuscripts should be between 3,500 and 15,000 words, double-spaced (including notes). Be sure to direct your essay to a general humanities audience, avoiding specialist jargon. Translations are encouraged, but please include the original AND written permission from the copyright holder for you to publish a translation.
Book Reviews
The review should be no more than 1200 words in length. About two thirds of the review should be devoted to a summary of the content of the book, and about one third to your evaluation.
