About

Mojave River Review publishes poetry, flash fiction, non-fiction, chap/book reviews, and interviews. We’re eclectic: traditional, experimental, speculative, just plain strange… Send us your best and we’ll soak it up like the roots of a late summer Joshua Tree. We're open to all styles and topics, but we’re especially interested in poets, writers, and works related to southwest/desert culture(s).

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.

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.
