SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES

Update April 2024: We are not currently accepting submissions. Please try back in a couple of months. Thank you!

We publish poetry and nonfiction on literary topics. We’re drawn to the author, known or unknown, whose work offers insight and depth, beautiful writing, and the wondrous absorption of reading.

Circling Rivers does not publish fiction, nor do we publish books, including poetry chapbooks, under 76 pages. For nonfiction, we consider works that reflect on the arts, especially literature. Gertrude m books is a private imprint, not open for submissions.
