Submitting to The McNeese Review

Submissions of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction for Volume 63 (2026) of The McNeese Review are welcome from June 1st - August 15th, 2025. 

Please follow the guidelines for the relevant genre of your work and please submit no more than once per reading period (multiple submissions will not be read unless the editors have specifically requested that the writer submit again). Submit only original work. Let us know if your writing borrows from or quotes another writer.

We encourage simultaneous submissions; however, please use Submittable to withdraw your submission if it is accepted by another publication. If you need to withdraw a single poem or piece of flash fiction or nonfiction but wish to keep other work in your submission under consideration, please use the Note feature on Submittable.

Contributors outside of the U.S. will receive two additional author copies in lieu of the honorarium.
