I can burn the pictures, but not the poems / since I published them in books, which are on shelves / in libraries and in people's homes.

General Guidelines
Click HERE for online submissions
We accept literary submissions in any genre; however we do not accept unsolicited translations. Please do not send more than six poems in a single submission. We do not reprint previously published work.
Our reading period is September 15th to December 15th, and January 15th to April 1st, but we will consider work year-round from subscribers. Please do not submit more than once every six months. Mail submissions to:
New Ohio Review
English Dept.
360 Ellis Hall
Ohio University
Athens, OH 45701
Please include a brief cover letter with your submission. Poems should be individually typed, either single- or double-spaced, on one side of the page. Prose should be typed double-spaced on one side and be no longer than thirty pages. Cross-genre work or any work that is unusually formatted is welcome, but please be aware that our page width and font size are restricted. We have no preferences regarding placement of author name, staples, or paper clips. Please do not include submissions in more than one genre in the same envelope.
Simultaneous submissions:
Simultaneous submissions to other journals are fine as long as you indicate so in your cover letter and inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Submissions by mail:
All manuscripts and correspondence regarding submissions should be accompanied by a S.A.S.E. For international submissions, please include a stamped International Reply Coupon (I.R.C.) with your S.A.S.E. or provide a valid e-mail address. Unless you specify in your cover letter that you would like your manuscript returned (and supply sufficient postage), all unused manuscripts will be recycled.
Response time:
Because of the high volume of submissions we receive, we typically take anywhere from 2-4 months to respond to submissions.
Submission withdrawals:
For submission withdrawals, both electronic and postal, please contact us at noreditors@ohio.edu.
