About

Denver Quarterly is the literary journal housed in the Department of English & Literary Arts at the University of Denver, currently in its 56th year of consecutive print publication. Denver Quarterly seeks to offer diverse publications that embody the wide-ranging possibilities for the worlds from which writing may come, and the worlds our authors imagine and write into being. We welcome the work of writers and artists from marginalized communities, identities, and traditions; those who work with differing abilities or who are non-professional writers; and those who have otherwise been traditionally excluded from the space of literary journals.

Important: Postal submissions are limited to those who are incarcerated or do not have stable access to internet. Electronic submissions close early if they reach their cap. For nonfiction, check guidelines as accepted categories vary.
Submission Caps: They may close to submissions early if they reach their quota. Check before submitting.
