General Submission Guidelines Regular submissions are read between September 1 and March 15. All pieces receive three independent readings from our staff of volunteer readers, all of whom are graduate students or faculty in the English Department at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The average turn-around for regular submissions is approximately three months.
If your submission arrives after our March 15 deadline, it will sit in our mailbox until September and then be considered for the next volume.
