The Artful Dodge is looking for stories with a sense of place.

"What it boils down to is this: Artful Dodge has always been attracted to writing with a sense of place and looks for work that combines the aesthetic and the human in fresh, unexpected ways. However, don't ask us what that statement means--all we can say is that the work we print shows awareness of the cultural landscape out of which it comes, the words and deeds of people, the language of the bus stop and bar. It involves an illumination of the particular and the concrete, and the transforming of this here-at-hand to the level of the permanent, the mythic. This can be accomplished in ways as diverse as William Carlos Williams' wheelbarrows, Elizabeth Bishop's maps, Langston Hughes' rivers, or William S. Burroughs' disrobed lunches. But some sort of interplay between focus and transcendence must be at work."

Antietem Review is looking for short stories, essays, interviews, poetry, etc.

"FICTION
Contributors may submit ONE entry for fiction. Editors seek high-quality fiction with fewer than 5,000 words. Short stories are preferred; however, a novel excerpt is considered if it works as an independent piece. Non-fiction, essays, interviews, memoirs, and book reviews are also accepted. We encourage contributors to study past issues prior to submitting their work (order request information listed below). As a non-profit organization, we depend on contributions and grants. We believe; however, writers should be paid for their work. Contributors who are chosen for publication will receive $50 to $100 plus two copies of the Antietam Review.

"POETRY
Contributors may submit up to three poems for the poetry category. Editors seek well-crafted pieces of no more than 30 lines (we discourage inspirational verse, doggerel and haiku). Approximately 24 poems are published in each AR issue. Contributors who are chosen for publication will receive $25 per poem plus two copies of the Antietam Review."

Hayden's Ferry Review is similarly broad-minded.

"Send poetry and prose separately and indicate on your envelope which editor (Poetry, Prose, Art, International) should receive your submission. Limit submissions to six poems or one story or essay per submission. Please send one manuscript per genre at a time, and wait for response before you submit additional work."

The Gettysburg Review says:

Published quarterly, The Gettysburg Review considers unsolicited submissions of poetry, fiction, essays, and essay-reviews from September 1 through May 31 (postmark dates). New submissions received from June 1 through August 31 are returned unread. We welcome submissions of full-color graphics year round.
