The Deronda Review is primarily a poetry magazine, but we are also open to short fiction, essay, and memoir. For the magazine itself, prose submissions should be a maximum of 500 words. However, longer prose works may be published on our homepage. Poetry submissions should consist of up to five poems, either in ONE Word document or in the body of the email. Only works with special graphic requirements should be sent in a .pdf. We are open to reprints and simultaneous submissions; if your submission is simultaneous, please tell us so. We recommend that  you read an issue (see current issue and "Archives" section), and consider our statement on the aims and character of the magazine, here.

We publish one issue annually.  Our next reading period will be from May 15 to July 15, 2025.  Send to Esther Cameron, derondareview at g mail, or to Mindy Aber Barad, maber4kids at yahoo period com. 

For the 2025 issue, we will continue the theme of Trust (primarily among fellow-humans), and add that of Will.  Poems on other themes, especially nature and the seasons and any of our past themes (see the Archives), will also be considered.
