We are accepting submissions! Our reading periods are August 1 - October 1.
Red Cedar Review encourages art, poetry, and prose submissions from upcoming writers and artists who are unpublished (or have been published fewer than four times). We consider poetry and prose, one-act plays and short screenplays. In the spirit of our mission to publish authentic new voices, we strictly prohibit writing and art that has been generated through the use of AI, and we do not republish work that has already appeared elsewhere.
Writers can submit up to three poems and two works of prose or drama. We accept simultaneous submissions. .
