The Fieldstone Review, an online literary journal published annually, welcomes submissions of original, unpublished works of poetry, short stories, and creative non-fiction/personal essays. TFR accepts electronic submissions only; please direct your submission to the appropriate section editor’s email address. Submissions must be in Word or RTF format. In the email message you send with the attachment, please include your name, contact information and the title(s) of the work(s) submitted, as well as notification about whether it is a simulataneous submission. During the reading period, submission reception notification emails are sent within a week.

The reading period for Issue 5 stretches from May 15, 2010 to August 30, 2010 at 5:00pm, CST; decisions will be emailed by October. Payment is given based on funding provisions.

As an online journal, The Fieldstone Review staff is open to work that experiments with e-textuality as well as to work that uses technology suited to the online environment to enhance the audience’s experience of the work; we are also open to more traditional work.

Poetry: We’re looking for fresh, high-quality verse. Please submit no more than 5 poems per yearly reading period. For poems longer than 3 single-spaced, single-column pages, please submit the first 3 pages initially, indicating both in the cover letter and the bottom of the third page how many more lines there are in the poem.

Fiction: We’re looking for short stories no shorter than 1500 words with a strong sense of narrative. Please submit no more than two stories totalling no more than 5000 words. Longer pieces of exceptional quality may be considered—if you have a longer piece, please submit the first 5000 words of the piece for consideration with an indication both in the cover letter and at the bottom of the last page of how many more words there are in the story.

Creative Non-Fiction: We are looking for strong, varied pieces of creative non-fiction; journalistic, memoir, essay (photographic or otherwise) annotation, cartoon, or multi-media. We invite you to test the limits of our virtual space so that we can meet our goal of juxtaposing diverse ideas and media, reflecting and commenting upon different parts of our global community, There is no minimum length for this sort of submission, though we would ask that you submit no more than two creative non-fiction submissions totalling no more than 5000 words during each submission period. We will consider pieces of exceptional quality longer than 5000 words, but if you have a longer piece, please submit only the first 5000 words with an indication both in the cover letter and at the bottom of the last page about how many more words there are in the piece.
