Call For Submissions for Walloon Writers Review Ninth Edition July 15 – August 30, 2024

/ Walloon Writers Review / 2 Comments

Through the first decade since its founding in 2014, Walloon Writers Review has provided a safe harbor where writers and photographers celebrate the sights and sounds of Northern Michigan. Through fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and photography, contributors continue to highlight the river bends and hilltops, as well as all the places in between, that mark this region as eternal.

As Walloon Writers Review embarks on our second decade, we seek both to build on this strong foundation, while also reimagining how the landscape of Northern Michigan continues to inspire and to influence writers and photographers. – Glen Young, Walloon Writers Review

General Guidelines

Walloon Writers Review is intended for a general audience, to be shared at the cottage, at camp, on the deck, or cabin bookshelf for all to enjoy. Our regional focus is on Northern Michigan, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (and the islands in between).

Submissions are accepted through Submittable.com during the above dates. Please visit our Submittable page for guidelines specific to this edition.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer feedback on submissions. In effort to include as many contributors as possible, only two submissions per person will be accepted for this edition.

Walloon Writers Review charges a reading fee of $6.00 per submission. Funds collected are used to offsets costs of producing this annual print publication and we also make an annual small donation to a regional non-profit organization working to protect the natural beauty of the region.

We include original poetry, short stories, and other creative writing (max: 4,000 words) and nature photography. Nature photography should not include people.

We hope you will share your Northern Michigan and Upper Peninsula inspired original work! Thank you for your support.

Please visit our Submittable page at https://walloonwritersreview.submittable.com/submit to learn more about specific guidelines and to submit your original creative writing and or nature photography for our upcoming edition!
