Jet Fuel Review

About

148 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Through Lewis University, Jet Fuel Review is run entirely by students under the supervision of faculty advisers. In the spirit of journals such as Joliet Junior College’s Wordeater, Illinois Wesleyan University’s Tributaries, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Dear Navigator, Lewis alumna Mary Egan launched a journal run by students with a national scope for publication. Though this journal is run by English majors attending Lewis University, a university nestled in the Midwest, we hope to reach people thousands of miles from our verdant campus by being entirely online.

Fiction Temp Closed

We’re looking for fiction stories with strong character development and captivating plots. It has been rumored that there are no longer new ideas in the field of fiction. If that’s true, give us your most interesting spin on those old tales. Specific language and details are a must to make the story pop out at us. All of us have likes and dislikes when it comes to fiction, but as long as you write something you love and write it well, the subject matter doesn’t matter.

Poetry Temp Closed

When reading verse, we’re looking for strong imagery and concrete language. Poems that transport us to the author’s head so their vision will stand out to us. We prize poems that use language in interesting ways. As writers, part of your job is to recycle the English language in the most interesting way possible. We’ve all seen these words before, poems that get published here will rearrange those words and use them in new ways. When you’re given those plastic dictionary lines, don’t just make another plastic bottle out of them, try sculpting what you feel.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
