The Blue Mountain Review A project of The Southern Collective Experience About The Blue Mountain Review is a Southern publication, but we do not define the boundaries of that interpretation. That is up to you, the artist, to consider and reflect upon when you give your material that final once-over before you do us the honor of reviewing the phrases and imagery. There are no lofty goals to meet, only the expectation that all submissions of poetry, prose, and photography/visual arts are carefully thought-out, thoroughly edited. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.) The fee range is USD $5 to $25 (above average for magazines that charge). Want more insight into the editors' preferences? Read our interview with the editor(s).
