Submission Guidelines
Poetry
Submit up to five poems as a single .docx or .pdf file. Please submit only original, previously-unpublished poems in English (multi-lingual texts are permissible so long as part of the poem appears in English). Please include a cover letter and a brief third-person biography with your submission.
Visual Art
Submit up to six images as separate, high resolution .jpg files. Please submit only original, previously unpublished works, and please note any relevant metadata for each work, including title, medium, dimensions, and dates of production. Please include a cover letter and a brief third-person biography with your submission.
Submit
House Mountain Review welcomes unsolicited submissions of innovative, aesthetically-diverse poetry and visual art during two open reading periods: 1 April - 15 June for Fall, and 1 October - 15 December for Spring. Submissions received outside of these dates may be considered for the next open reading period. Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, provided that authors notify HMR immediately when a piece has been accepted elsewhere.
House Mountain Review obtains First North American Serial Rights to publish written work. Upon publication, all rights revert back to the author. As a courtesy, we ask that you acknowledge House Mountain Review as the place of first publication for any subsequent publications of the work.
A reading fee of $3 directly supports the production costs for the journal. Multiple submissions are welcome, but each submission must be accompanied by its own reading fee.
