The Salt River Review appears three times a year: Spring (March 1st), Fall (October), and Winter (January). Submissions accepted by e -mail only.

Editorial preferences are for poetry with fresh language and images, prose poems that are more than colorful or clever prose, short fiction (such as that in the current issue), and brief reviews, though most reviews are done in-house. Literary non-fiction should be fresh and incisive - we are not interested in memoir or personal narrative.

There is no payment for work published in The Salt River Review.

Generally, we do not publish work that has already appeared in print, though we might make an exception in the case of work that is simply too good to pass up - in that case, it is the author's responsibility to obtain permission from the original publisher for its appearance in The Salt River Review.
