Editors’ Dispatches

Starting in 2023, we’re changing some of our prices to align with industry standards and account for increased costs in printing.

Submitting our work can often feel daunting, risky, even scary. Although I’m sure there is one, I can’t currently think of another profession where one willingly places themselves in a position to be rejected as much as writers do.

We are thrilled to announce our incredible nominations for this year’s Best of the Net Anthology!

Here are some key takeaways from our audience survey earlier this month.

Jerald Walker will serve as our guest literary nonfiction editor for the 2022–23 academic year!

We’re accepting (free) print-mag literary nonfiction submissions now through March 7!

In the spirit of the season, we here at CR thought it might be nice (and cathartic) to pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on some of the best writing advice we are thankful to have received.

Our submission period for the print journal starts on September 1! But pay attention: it’ll end earlier, on January 1, 2021.
