Read full submissions guidelines at The Doctor T. J. Eckleburg Review.
We accept previously unpublished and polished prose up to 8,000 words year round, unless announced otherwise. We are always looking for tightly woven short works under 2,000 words and short-shorts around 500 words. No multiple submissions but simultaneous is fine as long as you withdraw the submission asap through the submissions system. During the summer and winter months, we run our Writers Are Readers, Too, fundraiser when submissions are open only to subscribers. During the fall and spring, we open submissions for regular unsolicited submissions.
Note: We consider fiction, poetry and essays that have appeared in print, online magazines, public forums, and public access blogs as already being published. Rarely do we accept anything already published and then only by solicitation. We ask that work published at Eckleburg not appear elsewhere online, and if republished in print, original publication credit is given to The Doctor T. J. Eckleburg Review. One rare exception is our annual Gertrude Stein Award, which allows for submissions of previously published work, both online and print.
We accept polished creative nonfiction/essays up to 8,000 words year round, unless announced otherwise. Preferences veer toward essays under 1500 words with a creative nonfiction and/or arts and culture focus. If you wish to include a bio, keep it short, under 200 words. Please check out our free “Submissions Guidelines Workshop” prior to submitting.
We accept previously unpublished poetry of all forms. Please submit 1 – 5 poems. You may submit all poems in a single document; however, if you must withdraw one or more poems, withdraw the entire submission and resubmit any current poems you'd like us to consider.
Note: We consider poetry (and fiction) that has appeared in print, online magazines, public forums, and public access blogs as being published. Rarely do we accept anything already published and then only by solicitation. Once the piece is published in Eckleburg, the author is welcome to re-publish the work anywhere and everywhere. In these cases, we ask that the original publication be credited each time to The Doctor T. J. Eckleburg Review.
