How can I get volume 26 of the Clackamas literary review 2022 magazine
The Discover section of Submittable says your journal accepts submissions for NO FEE, but that is NOT the case.
Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. I do see that tag through the Discover feature and am not sure why it is listed as NO FEE, as we do have a minimum $3 fee for work submitted through Submittable. And unfortunately, I am having trouble figuring out how to change that configuration! The good news: per our Submissions page on this website, we accept mailed manuscripts with no reading fee. Here is that info:
We also accept physical manuscripts the old fashioned way (with no reading fee!). These must be word processed. When mailing your manuscript to us, please include a cover letter containing your contact information (name, mailing address, email address, and phone number) as well as a one-paragraph bio. On the manuscript itself, please make sure your name and an email address is on every physical page. If your work is accepted, you will be contacted via email for an electronic file.
