Editor Interview: Remington Review

Creative, original work

We admire a variety of publications, including Paper Darts, JetFuel, Black Fox Literary Magazine, and many others.

In classic literature, we favor the works of Emily Dickinson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, and others. In contemporary literature, we enjoy the works of Carolyn Forche, Kevin Young, and others. Our art editor enjoys the work of Cecily Brown, Miquel Barcelo, and others.

We’re a team of working writers and young professionals. We understand how it feels to be a writer trying to have your work published. With this in mind, we connect with our contributors and treat their work with the utmost respect it deserves. Our journal is also organized aesthetically and it allows for the creative word to speak for itself.

Our issues are free to read digitally. Read our archived issues to grasp an understanding of the general style of writing we prefer. We read every submission, but we value works that connect to the human senses and emotions.

The ideal submission is one that is free of any grammar errors. The submission should follow our guidelines. But most importantly, the submission should be original and connect to the human senses and emotions in a way we have never seen before. We want to read something new and exciting.

Our word count is important. Please don’t submit anything longer than 2,000 words.

We read the cover letters, but they don’t play a role in determining their submission status. We don’t favor writers/artists with multiple publication credits over individuals who are just starting to publish, and vice versa.

We can generally tell if a piece isn’t right for us after a few paragraphs. A story needs to have a strong beginning.

We consider the length, but also if the piece will pair well with any other pieces we are considering for the publication.

We read submissions throughout the submission period. Once the deadline has passed, however, we divide the submissions amongst our team to make decisions. Then, we send out the acceptances and rejections. We get to work right away with reading, editing, and proofreading the pieces. Then, we lay out the journal for publication.

We don’t accept submissions that have critical grammatical errors. But after a piece is accepted, we read it thoroughly, edit it according to our style for consistency, and proofread it to make sure the publication will be the best it can be. If a contributor has a specific editing request, we will make those requests.

We haven’t at this time.
