email address. Due to production restraints, submissions that do not include all of these requirements will be returned to sender and will not be reviewed by the NC Review staff until such information has been received.
- The staff reads submissions from September to May. You may send
submissions at any time throughout the year, but your queries and comments may not be addressed immediately due to the schedule of the publication.

The editorial board consists of English and Professional Writing undergraduates, as well as faculty advisors from the Department of English and Foreign Languages. The goal of our publication is to provide a forum for exceptional fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction in a dynamic, appealing, and accessible environment. The magazine's only agenda is to promote the pleasures and edification derived from high-quality literature. The Oklahoma Review is a continuous publication, now in its eighth year. We publish two issues online each year, Spring and Fall. Although we accept submissions at any time, our general deadlines are as follows:

We will neither consider nor return submissions sent in hard copy, even if return postage is included. When sending multiple submissions (e.g. five poems), please include all the work in a single file rather than five separate files. Authors should also provide a
