2015 issue reading period

On By EHIn Reading Periods

We closed our open reading period for the 2015 issue on December 31 and want to thank everyone who shared their work with us. We’re in the process of making the final selections right now and will be sending out notifications shortly. We think we’re building an amazing issue for you with incredible writing and art that we simply can’t wait to show you.

New submission guidelines!

On By EHIn Reading Periods

We’ve recently updated our submission guidelines. Three major changes for the upcoming issue of CLR:

  • Our reading period opens on September 1 and closes on December 31.
  • We accept submissions in three categories: Poetry, Prose and Possibility. The first category should be self-explanatory (right?). The second does not distinguish between fiction and non-fiction (we want both). The third is open to your interpretation and subject to your execution (we don’t know what’s possible; it’s your job to show us). 
  • For the first time in the history of the magazine, CLR will be accepting electronic submissions. We remain open to mailed submissions as well. Electronic submissions will be managed through Submittable.

For more details and the link to our Submittable page, please check out the updated submission guidelines.
