Submit
Harbor Review accepts original, exclusively human-created works for consideration. We try to respond to every submission in six months. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please notify us immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere so we can remove it from consideration. Please only submit 1 entry (no multiple entries per open period).
All submissions should be submitted through our Submittable page, here.
We are always providing poetry critiques.
All honorarium payments to contributors and prize winners will be paid through PayPal. Sorry, no exceptions.
