Thanks for thinking of us!

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know immediately if the piece has been accepted elsewhere. Please do not send multiple submissions. 

At this time, we can’t pay for material published in the journal, although we will certainly provide payment in the form of two contributor copies. For the sake of transparency, we charge a submission fee of $3.00, of which less than half goes to CCR (yes, Submittable takes the rest), but which still nominally helps cover the cost of using this platform. If the fee presents hardship, feel free to email us (capecodpoetryreview@gmail.com) , and we'll waive it. ​
 

Poetry
 We ask that you send up to five pages of your best poems. Formatting should be in a standard font, single spaced, with a new poem on each page. Because we view poetry as a literary art, we're looking for work that does something new with language. We like risk, experimentation, explosive energy, and eternal quiet. We love Mary Oliver too, and while we realize she lived in Provincetown, we're not exactly looking for your best Mary Oliver imitations. Purchasing previous issues helps keep us going, and will also give you a sense of our aesthetic. We strongly encourage work from the LGBTQ+ community, those who identify as BIPOC, those who are differently abled, as well as those whose identities intersect within these communities. Feel free to mention this in your cover letter or bio.

Art and Photography
 We are always looking for new artwork to include in the journal, and would love to showcase Cape Cod artists. Recognize that much of the work represented can only be rendered in black and white. Submit up to two pieces of artwork as a high resolution jpeg, and address your submission to the Arts Editor.

Essays, Creative Nonfiction, and Interviews
 Generally, our preferred word count is 4,000 words or less.

Fiction

• Length: 250 - 4,000 words. This isn’t set in stone, but between these lengths will be your best bet.
• Formatting: Times New Roman. 12 Point Font. Double Spaced. Page numbers in the header. Word count and email address on the first page. 
• What Not To Submit: Anything racist, sexist, homophobic, abelist, or just generally hateful. We are not a market for Erotica, Extreme Horror, Space Opera, or Sword and Sorcery. We also aren’t a market for brooding barroom stories with lots of cigarette smoke beneath moonlit lampposts. Gratuitous violence and sex aren’t our jam.

We love literary fiction. We love genre fiction. We particularly love the spaces where those two meet. Do you have something that sits between Kelly Link, Karren Russel, Carmen Maria Machado, Ted Chiang, Cailtin Kiernan, George Saunders, Laird Barron, Victor LaValle, Claire Vaye Watkins, Samantha Hunt, Brian Evenson, and Joy Williams on a literary sliding scale? If so, we want to see it. We love flash fiction and micro fiction. We love series of flash fiction and microfiction. We like it weird. We like it quirky. We like you...so send us something cool :)
