General Guidelines:

Seneca Review typically accepts submissions twice annually—from September 1st through October 31st and from February 1st through March 31st. (Reviews are accepted year-round and require no submission fee.)

• Recommended submission: 3-5 poems (as ONE FILE) or essays up to 20 pages of original, unpublished work.
• Only one submission per reading period, please.
• We do not publish fiction.
• Editors typically respond within 9 to 12 months, sooner if we can.
• Accepted authors receive two complimentary copies of their issue and a two-year subscription to Seneca Review.
• Copyright is held by Hobart and William Smith Colleges until publication, at which time rights revert to the author.
• We cannot consider work by current HWS students. Please do not submit if you currently attend HWS.
• Due to budgetary realities, and in an effort to curb our Submittable expenses, Seneca Review charges a $3 fee for work sent via Submittable. However, since we believe that writers should, ideally, be able to submit without paying any fee whatsoever, we will still accept free submissions mailed to our physical address. (Mailed submissions *must* include a SASE, or they will be recycled.) Seneca Review Hobart and William Smith Colleges 300 Pulteney St. Geneva, NY 14456 (315) 781-3392

Orders and subscriptions are no longer handled through Submittable. Instead, please visit our website. Thanks!
