The Wisconsin Review publishes both new and established authors of outstanding poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and visual artworks. Our staff come from diverse aesthetic backgrounds, so send us works of overwhelming excellence.  

The Wisconsin Review retains First North American Serial Rights of published work. Submissions require a $2.00 reading fee. Current subscribers can submit without paying the fee.

The Wisconsin Review is open for submissions for our December 2026 edition. Send us your best work!

We publish twice yearly in May and December. Please keep this in mind. Submissions will not 'close', but will only be read between these two publication dates.
