Guidelines

Poetry

1. TAR is open to poetry on any subject written from any point of view and in any form. However, writers should expect their work to be considered within the full context of old and new poetry in English and other languages.
2. The amount of space TAR can devote to any one writer is usually limited to 5-6 pages at a maximum.
3. No more than 6-8 poems should be submitted at any one time. A preferable submission would be 3-4 poems. Submitting more than 8 tends to conceal the merits of individual poems. The poet should also know, fairly clearly, what is or is not good work and send only that.
4. Poets should wait for response to a submission before submitting again.

PLEASE NOTE we do not accept submissions which have been previously published in any format.

Fiction

1. Submission should be typed, double spaced, author’s last name on each page, and can range in length from 500 to 3,000 words. Any submissions longer than 3,000 words are not likely to be accepted.
2. No more than 1 story should be sent at any one time. Writers should wait for a response before submitting again.
3. The Antigonish Review prefers not to consider fiction that has been submitted elsewhere (multiple submissions).
4. Normally we do not publish sections of novels and we do not publish plays or scripts (though a monologue can be considered).
5. We attempt to respond within two to four months.

PLEASE NOTE we do not accept submissions which have been previously published in any format.

Creative Non-Fiction

1. Travel sketches, personal memoirs, writing about sports, culture, history, or other essays which fall under the general rubric of creative non-fiction, are welcome.
2. Accompanying photographs may be considered (but will be published in black and white).
3. Serious scholarly works, interviews with Canadian literati, and the like will be considered from time to time, but those too narrow in scope or written in specialized jargon are better placed in a targeted academic, refereed, or professional journal.
4. Creative non-fiction should be 4000 words maximum (with 1000-4000 words as typical range).
5. Please submit only one essay at a time.

PLEASE NOTE we do not accept submissions which have been previously published in any format.
