Online Submission Guidelines

The Missouri Review is now accepting submissions in all genres online. The fee for online submissions is $3. This fee is meant to cover the printing and other administrative costs on our end. We hope that this submission method will prove to be both convenient and economical, but you may always submit by snail mail following the regular guidelines. Acceptance rates for electronic and regular submissions are the same: currently, less than 1%.

How Online Submission Works:

• First, you should prepare the file containing your manuscript for submission. Your file MUST be in DOC, RTF, PDF, or TXT format. If you are submitting poetry, all of the poems you are submitting (up to 20 pages) should be in ONE file: the reading fee covers the submission of a single file. Multiple files will require multiple reading fees.
• You must exit your word processing application before beginning the submission process! If the file is open in a program when you attempt to submit it, the submission will not be completed and you will receive an error message.
• When you click on the 'Secure Submission' link below, you will be directed to a shopping cart page that will have the $3 online reading fee already selected for you.
• You will continue on to the University of Missouri's secure server to enter your credit card information. It may take as long as a minute for your credit card to be verified when you complete this form. Please be patient!
• When you have completed the credit card payment form, your web browser will be authorized to access our submission upload page. DO NOT close you browser or use the 'Back' button during this remainder of the submission procedure. Doing so may prematurely cancel your authorization to submit and your submission will not be received.
• Complete the instructions on the submission upload page. You should see a follow-up screen that acknowledges that your upload was received. Some browser security options will block this window. Do not panic if you don't see it. You should also receive an e-mail confirmation. If you don't receive the e-mail within six hours of submitting, then you should contact us at: question@moreview.com.
