The Apple Valley Review, a semiannual online literary journal, will be accepting submissions of poetry, short fiction, and essays for its Spring 2009 issue until February 15, 2009.
Submissions are accepted year-round via e-mail. We prefer work that has both mainstream and literary appeal. All work must be original, previously unpublished, and in English. Please do not submit genre fiction, explicit work, or anything particularly violent or depressing. Also, please note that we do not accept simultaneous submissions. All published work is considered for our annual editor’s prize.
The Fall 2008 issue of the journal featured fiction by Alex Myers and Rachel Ephraim; memoir by Panteha Sanati; prose poetry by Julie Babcock; poetry by Vince Corvaia, Keetje Kuipers, Philip Matthews, M.J. Iuppa, Miranda Steffens, Andrew Slattery, Richard Stolorow, Margaret Rozga, Naira Kuzmich, Jim Murdoch, Susan Culver, and Heather Mercer; and artwork by Rob Evans.
The Apple Valley Review would also like to congratulate Kathy Anderson–the recipient of the Apple Valley Review Editor’s Prize for 2008, whose short story, “You Are the Bad Smell,” was published in our Spring 2008 issue–and two of the writers whose work appeared in the Spring 2007 issue. “Pageant Queen,” an essay by J. W. Young, and “Island Fever,” a poem by Edward Byrne, were selected for Best of the Web 2008, a print anthology available from Dzanc Books.
