Submissions

This year the Editors of Arch - the new annual, online literary magazine of Washington University in St. Louis - seek poetry and fiction of all genres and subgenres, essays and nonfiction of any concern, translations from any corner, and new to this reading period: book reviews.

While we aim to present the best poetry and fiction available today, we stress our call for nonfiction, essays, and reviews. We are very interested in nonfiction and essays broaching any topic, polite or not, and we will consider reviews of books on any subject, in any genre, published within the last three years. For reviews, either submit a piece as-is or query the email below with proposals. For all submissions: the farther afield, the more disruptive, the more subversive, the better.

You may only submit documents in PDF format through this form.  If you need to convert your document to PDF, you can download Cute PDF for free.  It converts most document formats to PDF.  Please name your file without special characters or spaces.

Submissions to multiple genres are permitted; send separately - resubmit this form for each genre.

Do NOT send: sci-fi verse, greeting card verse, inspirational verse, erotic verse, children's verse, any combination of these. Simultaneous submissions are permitted if you notify us immediately of acceptance elsewhere. Submissions disregarding these requirements will be deleted unread. Reading period runs until December 1st 2009 for February 2010 publication.

If you would like to include a photo in your bio, please upload one here. Acceptable file types are gif, jpg, and png with a max filesize of 800KB.
Please upload a PDF version of your work. Send either 3-5 poems, 10,000 words of prose or less (fiction or essay/nonfiction), or reviews of 2000 words or less.
