Editor Interview: Kansas City Review

Describe what you publish in 25 characters or less.

Eclectic writing and art

What sets your publication apart from others that publish similar material?

We encourage and promote creativity in the Midwest and around the world. We publish an eclectic mix of fiction, essays, interviews, articles, poetry, and art. We seek established and emerging voices for our annual publication.

What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?

Have a strong, unique voice. Be professional in your presentation.

What do submitters most often get wrong about your submissions process?

Not following our on-line submissions process correctly. Including identifying information in their work so it fails our blind submissions requirement. Submitting unprofessional looking works.

How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?

No cover letters. We do not care about prior publication credits. If your work is accepted, we will ask you for a bio.

What additional evaluations, if any, does a piece go through before it is accepted?

If we select your piece as a finalist, we are likely to suggest some editing. Final acceptance of the piece requires that you and our editor agree on the final edit.
