MississippiReview.com

Mississippireview.com is posted quarterly. Each issue has a guest editor, and to submit work you should contact the guest editor directly. Links to the guest editors and information about themes of upcoming issues will always be listed on the News & Events page of the magazine. Also, please check the notices on the home page of the current issue at www.mississippireview.com.

If no editors or upcoming issues are listed there, then the magazine is not reading new work for the moment. Ordinarily, however, you will find the names of editors who have issues in progress, with notes about what kinds of things these editors are looking for--please contact these editors directly with queries and submissions. Submissions should be sent as attachments in Microsoft Word or RTF format.

Mississippreview.com is among the oldest and most popular literary magazines on the Web. It was established in early 1995 as a site for the publication of literary writing. Drawing on Mississippi Review archives, and on fresh material from well known writers as well as emerging talent, the online version of MR shares some of its content with the print magazine. As of 2008, the magazine has more than fifteen hundred stories and poems online, work by such writers as Thom Jones, Ben Marcus, Francine Prose, Padgett Powell, Barry Hannah, Tom Drury, Elizabeth Gilbert, Rick Bass, Ben Neihart, and from newer writers like Brian Oberkirch, Michael Dermansky, Courtney Eldridge, David Ryan, Laurie O'Brien, Jaime Clarke, Stacey Richter, Susan Hubbard, Larry French. It is a magazine that was recently referenced in Writer’s Digest as the fifth most important and influential on-line publication.

Mississippi Review print edition

Because we only publish two print issues per year, we do not currently accept unsolicited manuscripts of any kind, except under the rules and guidelines of the Mississippi Review Prize (see here). That issue is one of the two issues we publish annually. The second issue is usually a special topics issue edited by a guest, and built largely around solicited work. Occasionally an editor will put out a call for work on specific topics, but otherwise no unsolicited work is accepted.
