Submissions

The Great Smokies Review accepts submissions year-round from current and former Great Smokies Writing Program students and instructors. Submissions are open to the public each January and July.

GSR publishes new poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, book reviews, craft essays, author interviews, and visual art. We are also interested in hybrid work or work that resists easy classification. Literary quality is always our primary criterion. We encourage submissions from historically marginalized populations, including but not limited to members of the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Disabled/differently-abled communities.

Submissions must be sent via our online submission platform, Duosuma. See Duosuma for complete submission guidelines.
