SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
CutBank reads general submissions from October 1 through February 15, and contest submissions through April 1. We welcome original, unpublished work from established and upcoming writers alike. We're looking first and foremost for excellent writing. We love to read, and are always excited to find a piece that startles us, engaging us emotionally and challenging us intellectually.
Please only submit unpublished, original work. We're always happy to accept simultaneous submissions but ask that you withdraw your work immediately if it is accepted elsewhere. Please include a cover letter with a brief biography. We encourage you to read CutBank before submitting. Sample issues are available for $8; one-year subscriptions for $15.
Every piece will be read first by an editor, and then by an enthusiastic, trained pool of readers. Reading your work is the most exciting part of our jobs, and we're happy to say we form the majority of our content for CutBank from unsolicited submissions. We're all writers here, and we appreciate the opportunity to read your work. Response time is typically 2 to 4 months. Keep writing and we'll see you on the flip side!
